| I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy and the Obed J. Wilson Professor of Ethics at the University of Cincinnati. I did my graduate work in philosophy at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and my undergraduate work at Wesleyan University. My research interests lie at the intersection of normative ethics, moral psychology, and metaethics. I've written about extraordinary moral agents--often called "moral saints"--and various puzzles that arise when we examine how these agents navigate the boundaries of moral obligation. Additional research interests include the nature of obligation; the moral dimension of technical knowledge and expertise; taxonomies of moral agency; the demands and limits of morality; moral emotions; role-based moral obligations; theories of wellbeing; theories of sacrifice; medical ethics; justifications for punishment; and reproductive ethics.
