about

I am a doctoral student in philosophy at the University of Notre Dame and a writing fellow at Heterodox Academy. In my freelance writing I do a grab-bag of cultural commentary and analysis of arguments in circulation in public discourse. In my academic work, I study epistemology, focusing on questions about the nature of epistemic norms and the epistemology of the social world, especially the epistemology of politics. I am currently working on papers about inquiry, conceptual engineering, reasons for belief, inferring beliefs from actions, the epistemology of disagreement, and the epistemology of moral progress, as well as a book about political beliefs, provisionally titled Political Beliefs​.
