About Me
I am a philosopher at the Freie Universität Berlin. I received my PhD from the CUNY Graduate Center, MA from the University of Vienna, and BA from the University of British Columbia.
My interests include agency, collective action, interpersonal obligation, the nature of value, political morality, and experimental philosophy. I've been working on a view of shared agency based on interdependent conditional intentions. Supported by an ERC Starting Grant titled "Unifying Solidarity," my next project will argue that the value of solidarity arises from interests we have in normative ties to others.
Published papers and a brief description of my current and future research are available on the research page. A list of courses taught and a description of my other pedagogical activities are available on the teaching page. My CV and email address are here.
