Academic Bio

I’m an assistant professor at UNC Chapel Hill and Core Faculty in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). As of 2023, I’m an associate editor at the Journal of Moral Philosophy and Director of UNC’s PPE Speaker Series.

My first book, with Sarah Stroud, is Ethical Theory: 50 Puzzles, Paradoxes, and Thought Experiments (Routledge). Next up is What We Owe to Ourselves (OUP), which defends a new kind of ethical theory: impartial like consequentialism, rights-based like deontology.

You can see what I’m reading now on my PhilPeople. (It’s mostly math and politics—two topics I hope to focus more on, once those books are finally out.)
