ÌÇÐÄVlog

Biography

I joined the department of Philosophy at the ÌÇÐÄVlog in 2013 after a postdoctoral year at Bergische Universität in Wuppertal, Germany and six years teaching at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. I completed my PhD at Rice University and my MA at the University of Toronto. I am the author of Existential Flourishing: A Phenomenology of the Virtues (Cambridge UP, 2018) and Time and the Shared World: Heidegger on Social Relations (Northwestern UP, 2013), as well as articles on Husserl, Heidegger, Kant, Sartre, Arendt, and virtue ethics. I am primarily interested in questions of personhood, agency, and self-becoming - espeically the role that other people play in those things. I draw inspiration from both Continental and Analytic approaches. I am currently pursuing research into the phenomenology of ideality and the role that encounters with the good play in the functioning of practical agency. Key Research Interests: Existentialism and Phenomenology Ethics (especially virtue ethics and Kantian ethics), Moral Psychology
