I am Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy. My research focusses on post-Kantian European philosophy and topics in the philosophy of mind. I am interested in supervising projects on Kant, Hegel, Beauvoir (but not Sartre), and aesthetics, broadly construed.

My current projects have to do with Hegel’s views about thought and perception; Beauvoir’s aesthetics and philosophy of mind; and the role of artworks (particularly works of contemporary fiction) in human life.

You can read more about my work on my website.
