I am an assistant professor of philosophy at Claremont McKenna College.
The central theme of my work is that when it comes to what we should believe, morality is not voiceless. The central theme of my work is that when it comes to what we should believe, morality is not voiceless. My research—at the intersection of ethics, epistemology, and philosophy of race—examines the question of how we ought relate to one another, and it highlights the epistemic dimensions of wrongs such as racism. Motivated by the recognition that our epistemic practices exist in an unjust and non-ideal world, I argue that there are moral and social constraints on our epistemic practices; what we owe to each other encompasses not only word and deeds, but also beliefs.
