I hold a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. I teach courses in the philosophy of space and time, philosophy and social psychology, political philosophy, philosophy and film, the philosophy of humor, and early modern European philosophy. My current research is on the philosophy, psychology, and politics of ideological science denial; I also work on naturalistic approaches to understanding time and time consciousness.

My work has been featured in The New York Times, Scientific American, National Public Radio’s “On Point”, “Think” (twice), “The Brian Lehrer Show”, and “Gulf Coast Life“; Public Radio International’s “The World”, NBC News, ABC News, The Guardian, Vox, New Scientist, Salon, CNET, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Canada's National Observer, Radio New Zealand, The Conversation, The David Pakman Show, Alternet, DeSmog, The Narwhal, Channel Q, Parker’s Pensees, Business Insider, The Houston Chronicle, The San Antonio Express-News, The San Francisco Chronicle, Krautreporter (Germany), ABC (Spain), The Tablet (UK), Filozofuj (Poland), L’Espresso (Italy), Nieman Journalism Lab, Science and Education, Metapsychology, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, Medium, and the podcasts Parlia and The Sustainable Century.
