About Me

My research and teaching covers a range of topics at the intersection of the philosophy of language and philosophical methodology. This includes examining related areas in the philosophy of mind, social philosophy, critical race and feminist theory, social psychology, and metaphysics.

Of particular interest to me are conceptual engineering and ethics, as well as exploring the ethical and political dimensions of language, generic judgments, plausible deniability, pragmatic communication, debunking in metaethics, pejoratives, direct reference, and singular thought.

Recently, I have expanded my interests into social psychology, where I am particularly intrigued by subjects such as implicit bias, dogwhistles, racial figleaves, and social epistemology in the context of conceptual engineering and peer disagreement.

I completed a Joint Ph.D. Program in philosophy at the University of Oslo and The St Andrews and Stirling Graduate Programme in Philosophy (SASP), where I was affiliated with Arché (Philosophical research centre for Logic, Language, Metaphysics and Epistemology, St Andrews) and ConceptLab (Research Centre on Conceptual Engineering, Oslo).
