My Work
I work on ethics and social and political philosophy. I’m particularly interested in questions about educational access and justice. Access to affordable, high-quality, public education from primary school to postsecondary school is important. What counts as affordable and high-quality education? What are the aims of a public institution? Who should be able to access public education? In addition to motivating my research these questions guide my thinking about how to best advise and serve my students.
