About
I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Wheaton College, Massachusetts. I received my PhD in Philosophy from Columbia University. Before joining Wheaton, I was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Wellesley College.
My primary areas of research are social, political, and legal philosophy, philosophy of race, epistemology, and their intersections.
My current work is on existing racial injustices and structural change and on the moral and political epistemology of our duties to respond to injustice. I also have interests in classical Chinese philosophy and how its competing traditions maintain we should deal with unjust regimes and political actors.
Teaching Interests
My primary teaching interests lie in social, political, and legal philosophy, philosophy of race , epistemology, and their intersections. In addition, I teach classes on classical Chinese philosophy and 19-20th century Continental philosophy.
