"A main cause of philosophical disease [is] a one-sided diet: one nourishes one's thinking with only one kind of example." Wittgenstein

Assistant Professor of Philosophy; Chief Departmental Advisor

My research interests focus on the intersection of Epistemology and Social and Political Philosophy.   In particular I am interested in questions of knowledge and identity in light of differences in social position.   My work draws on feminist and critical race theorists, both analytic and continental.   In addition I work on and in the spirit of the later Wittgenstein insofar as he sought to avoid both foundationalist and relativist tendencies in philosophizing.
