I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Philosophy Department at Connecticut College. I received my Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley. Before that, I received my B.A. in philosophy from Mount Holyoke College.
I work primarily in epistemology and ethics, and on issues at their intersection. Much of my work focuses on the moral dimensions of inquiry and belief formation. Some of the questions at the heart of my research concern whether, and to what extent, the ways we go about forming beliefs ought to be sensitive to moral considerations and our social commitments of various kinds. I'm currently working on topics in moral psychology and practical reasoning, with a focus on the role that the anticipation of one's future retrospective evaluative attitudes (like regret) play in practical deliberation.
