Bio
I’m a current Ph.D. candidate with the Philosophy Department at The University of Texas – Austin with an expected graduation in 2025/2026. I am ABD as of May 2023. In 2019, I graduated as a first-generation student from Princeton University, where I received a degree in Philosophy and a certificate in Values and Public Life.
Research and Research Interests
My graduate prospectus was defended on the topic of community and moral community on May 5th, 2023. My dissertation is expanding on my account of community, including moral, political, and social community.
Presentations
I have five official presentations.
At the 2024 Central APA, I gave a flash talk for the MAP-International.
I presented on October 28, 2023, at Concerned Philosophers for Peace 2023 conference in Knoxville, TN on my working paper “The Logic of the Map and the Road to War.”
On June 1st, 2023, I presented at the University of London on the original value of art produced by AI.
Before then, I presented at the Central APA in Chicago in 2022 on an account of property and inheritance. A version of this paper was presented at the Second Annual Analytic Philosophy Conference in Bucharest, Romania.
Teaching and Teaching Interests
I am the instructor of record for PHI304T Introduction to Technology Ethics. My teaching philosophy emphasises active learning, peer discussion, and critical thinking.
I enjoy teaching introductory level classes in philosophy of law, logic, history of philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, and general philosophy.
Outside Philosophy
I am an AP & IB History and Economics tutor, with additional specialties in the SAT/ACT and LSAT. I have been a tutor since November 2017, and have taught most subjects under the sun. Click here for more on that.
In undergrad, I was (for a bit) the varsity coxswain for the Men’s Lightweight Rowing team. I also have written for the Daily Princetonian. My work can continue to be found in their archives.
I grew up in Michigan (euchre, anyone?), moving to New Jersey for undergrad and a gap year, then moving to Texas in 2019 during the pandemic for graduate school. I enjoy reading, writing, games, and my cats: Kalypso and Kyrkae.
