My research focuses on interpersonal moral responsibility. When are we responsible for others' wrongful actions and why? In my dissertation, I defend a deliberative account of moral complicity that grounds complicity in our deliberative obligations. I am also interested in interpersonal duties more generally and particularly interested in how we ought to understand ourselves and our interactions with the moral deliberation of others.
