Biography
My scholarly expertise includes social and political philosophy, feminist philosophy, Hume, philosophy of law, and applied ethics, and current research interests broadly overlap. I have served as the Graduate Program Director and the Undergraduate Director for the Department of Philosophy, and presently serve on the Working Group on Indigenous Philosophy. Recent graduate student supervision includes topics such as justice and distribution, autonomy and oppression, the ethics of pregnancy, and the relationship between technology and craft. I am currently the organizer for Hume Studies at the Canadian Philosophical Association (CPA), and I also serve as Program Committee Chair for Social and Political Philosophy for the CPA. I was also the co-editor in chief for Hume Studies from 2016 to 2021.
