I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago’s Department of Philosophy.

My main areas of research are Kant, ethics and philosophy of law. In addition, I have a strong interest in post-Kantian German philosophy through Marx and social philosophy.

Research

I am currently working on two projects: the first is an interpretation of the practical purpose of moral philosophy in Kant, which I argue is best understood as therapeutic; the second is an account of the relation between epistemic and action-guiding norms in law. While the projects are separate, they are linked by my overarching interest in the relation between theory and practice.

Teaching

My primary teaching area is practical philosophy (both systematic and historical). Sample syllabi for courses in the selected teaching areas listed below are available on request.
