About Me

I am a moral and political philosopher. My work is primarily about freedom, work, and capitalism. Currently, I am developing a theory of freedom based on the idea that free activity must be intrinsically rather than extrinsically motivated. I approach these topics in part through an engagement with various historical figures, including Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, and especially Marx. You can find out more about my research here.
My paper "Freedom, Desire, and Necessity: Autonomous Activity as Activity for Its Own Sake" was recently published in the Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy and can be found on my PhilPeople page. My paper "The Unity of Marx's Concept of Alienated Labor" is forthcoming in The Philosophical Review and available from me on request. Drafts of two other papers currently under review are also available from me on request: one on coercion and incentivization, and another on meaningful work.
Starting in July 2023, I will be an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Northwestern University. Previously, I taught at Clemson University for three years, having completed my Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in 2020.
Here is my abridged C.V.; a full C.V. is available from me on request.
