Research

I work (mostly) at the intersection of ethics and epistemology. My primary line of research focusses on the phenomenon of intractable moral disagreement. I am interested in moral disagreement both as a datum to be explained by meta-ethical/moral epistemic theories and as a practical problem to be negotiated in our political, interpersonal, and educational relationships. I take these two issues to be closely related. After all, what (if anything) we should do about our moral disagreements will depend on what moral disagreements are and how they are perpetuated. I have a secondary line of research located more directly in philosophy of education. Here, i’m currently interested in issues to do with the value and purpose of grading. More broadly i’m interested in issues related to educational justice.
