Research

Current Projects

My main research project at the moment concerns an exploration and defense of what I call volition-based moral theories, which are theories that ground moral evaluations in the content of one's will rather than the product of willing.  

I am also working on a grant-funded project with Yuan Zhao and Kemi Olaiya of SHSU's College of Osteopathic Medicine to develop ethics modules for incorporation into medical science courses. We recently published a paper associated with this project.
