I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Connecticut College.
I received my Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley, in Fall 2015. 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. Most of my recent work focuses on questions concerning what we ought to believe. Some of these questions include: What makes it the case that an agent ought to believe something? Can personal relationships play a role in determining what one ought to believe? Can our beliefs wrong others? Can failing to form certain beliefs wrong others? For example, can failing to accord an appropriate degree of credibility to a speaker's word wrong that speaker? And, if so, how should we conceive of the nature of that particular wrong?
