I am an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania, and a honorary associate professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick.

Post-Kantian European philosophy and social & political philosophy constitute the center of gravity of my work, but I also possess areas of scholarly and teaching expertise in applied ethics, early analytic philosophy, philosophy & literature, and the history & philosophy of human rights.

My new book, The Force of Truth: Critique, Genealogy, and Truth-Telling in Michel FoucaultLink opens in a new window, on Foucault’s history of truth and what I call possibilising genealogyLink opens in a new window, has just been published by the University of Chicago Press.
