I’m a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Philosophy at Corpus Christi College, the University of Cambridge. I graduated from the University of Chicago in Summer 2017 with a joint degree PhD from the Committee on Social Thought and the Philosophy Department.
My research is in the history of practical philosophy, especially Kant, post-Kantian German Idealism and Aristotle and contemporary moral philosophy (metaethics and moral psychology). The question currently guiding me is how to understand the notions of responsibility and freedom while taking into account our finitude and therefore essential dependence--on sensibility, on other people, and political communities. I'm currently particularly interested in the emotions and character.
Before coming to the University of Chicago, I studied English literature at Harvard, and I remain keenly interested in the relationship between philosophy, literature and psychoanalysis.
I am also an editor for The Point, a thrice-yearly “journal of ideals” which publishes philosophical essays on politics, contemporary life, and culture.
