I work at the intersection of philosophy, anthropology, and comparative literature. 

I am currently an MA student in anthropology at The New School. 

I hold a PhD in philosophy from the Ohio State University (2024). My dissertation, Pragmatism as a Theory of Normativity: Three Revisionary Projects, is a defense of pragmatism by applying it in a range of normative topics.

Broadly speaking, my work focuses on ethics (and normativity in general) from a pragmatist perspective. I'm primarily interested in the possibility of ethics in a postmodern and queer framework: given the lack of objective, absolute normative authority, how should we live our life in an ethical way? What does this "should" even mean?

Philosophically, I'm also interested in 1) most topics in core philosophy, such as epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of math, and philosophy of science, and 2) continental philosophy, especially Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and Heidegger.

Anthropologically, I'm also interested in subcultures, debt and guilt, harm and care, psychoanalysis anthropology, and historical anthropology.
