As of Fall 2023, I am Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Auburn University. I received my PhD in 2020 from the University of Chicago’s Committee on Social Thought, where I completed a dissertation on Hegel’s account of self-consciousness. My current research focuses on Hegel’s views on thought, perception, and the social character of mind; Simone de Beauvoir’s aesthetics and philosophy of mind; and the role of artworks in human life.
My scholarship is driven by a particular commitment to practicing philosophy across disciplinary lines. Prior to starting my PhD, I completed a project year thesis on medieval Christian and Islamic receptions of Aristotelian mimesis at the European College of Liberal Arts in Berlin, an MA in the history of Western thought at St. John’s College Annapolis, and a BA in Politics at Oberlin College.
