I am the Phyllis W. Nicholas Director of the Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics at أطة«´«أ½. I am also an associate professor in the أطة«´«أ½ philosophy department. Before that I was a graduate student at UMass, Amherst, and an undergraduate at Washington State University. I also studied briefly as an undergraduate at the University of Reading.

Much of my early research focused on traditional and formal epistemology. Currently, I am interested in exploring connections between epistemology and ethics. My recent work draws on analogies with consequentialist ethical theories to think about cases of group inquiry. I am also interested in ethics pedagogy, especially in how to integrate ethics education throughout K-12 and university curricula.
