About Me

I am a (full) Professor in the Department of Philosophy at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces New Mexico, USA.

My main research is in Development Ethics. I am the President of the International Development Ethics Association (IDEA), Lead Co-editor of the Journal of Global Ethics, a Senior Advisor of the Center for Values in International Development, and actively involved with the Human Development Capabilities Association (HDCA). I have professional experience in more than 20 countries across six continents.

My current research focus is the development of Integral Human Development Ethics, an integrated approach to ethical development. I have given several talks and written papers on the approach. I am working toward publishing a book with the working title: Integral Human Development Ethics: Radical Solidarity with the whole person and every person.

I have published three co-edit volumes:

Lebret and the Projects of Économie Humaine, Integral Human Development, and Development Ethics, with Des Gasper, in Journal of Global Ethics, 2021.

Routledge Handbook of Development Ethics, 2019, with Jay Drydyk. Now Open Access!

Agency and Democracy in Development Ethics: Essays in Honor of David A. Crocker with Stacy Kosko, Cambridge University Press, 2019.

In addition to philosophy and development ethics, I love spending time with my family, traveling, and playing outside.
