1st Year Graduate Student | Ph.D. Program in Philosophy

I am primarily interested in the philosophy of responsibility – what it means to have meaningful ownership of one’s actions, and how we can allocate praise and blame both socially and judicially. I’m particularly interested in how this field of philosophy intersects with Indigenous philosophy and political issues, and the ethics of climate change and corporate/governmental responsibility. 

Before coming to Columbia, I received my BAHons in Philosophy and Creative Writing and a Diploma of Music from the University of Melbourne.
