Kia ora! I am Senior Lecturer and Graduate Advisor in the Philosophy Programme at the University of Waikato, New Zealand. This website gives visitors access to published papers, new and forthcoming papers, books, teaching, and supervision material. My CV and other biographical information is contained here too. 

Areas of interest

  • Metaphysics & Epistemology

  • Philosophy of Action

  • Applied ethics

I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Utah in 2008. My areas of specialisation are the philosophy of language and philosophy of action. Ron Mallon was my chief supervisor, and Elijah Millgram, Chrisoula Andreou, Shaun Nichols, and Walter Sinnott-Armstrong were on my committee.

 

I have held visiting fellowships at John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, the University of Connecticut Humanities Institute, and the University of Aberdeen. I regularly teach masterclasses for PhD students at Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland and professional development courses in applied ethics at the University of Texas at El Paso's Institute of Security Studies.
