I'm a philosopher working in epistemology, moral psychology, and applied ethics. Much of my work focuses on parallels between the epistemic and the practical. For example, we blame people for their actions-- how should we understand what we're doing when we blame people for their beliefs?

I teach a variety of courses in the Philosophy & Religious Studies Department at the University of Wyoming, with a special emphasis on applied ethics, including bioethics. This fall I'm excited to teach Philosophy of Mental Health for the second time. This course blends philosophy and psychology to understand models for mental health and disorder, as well as mental health stigma.

I recently joined Wyoming's medical school (WWAMI) as the Block Lead for Themes in Medicine-- I oversee and teach in the ethics & equity curriculum for our first and second-year med students.
