I work on the nature of value—ethical, aesthetic, and beyond—and the nature of our relationship to it as minded creatures. Currently, I am writing about moral knowledge, love, alienation, the first-person perspective, and whether value is real (it is). My work in these contemporary areas wears its historical heart on its sleeve: my research is informed and inspired throughout by a number of figures from the history of philosophy, most centrally Plato and Nietzsche.
I joined Clemson University as an Assistant Professor in 2020; prior to this, I completed my PhD at the University of Chicago, and my BPhil and MMathPhil at the University of Oxford. My partner, Pascal Brixel, is also a philosopher; you can find his website here.
