Profile
Biography
I am a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of York. Prior to coming to York, I received my PhD from Princeton University, where I wrote a dissertation on Phenomenal Concepts and the Mind-Body Problem. I was a Bersoff Fellow at NYU from 2012-2013, and an Assistant Professor at Bowling Green from 2013-2014.
Research
Overview
My primary research interests focus on consciousness (its nature, contents, and how we think about it), mental imagery, and introspection. I have secondary interests throughout philosophy of mind and areas that touch on it, including intentionality, personal identity and the unity of consciousness, Berkeleyan idealism, metaethical non-naturalism, and character/virtue.
