Areas of Expertise

  • Bioethics
  • Philosophy of Mind
  • Philosophy of Language
  • Philosophy of Race

My research concerns questions at the intersection of philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, bioethics, and race. I primarily work on pain communications, particularly in the context of racial and gender disparities in pain management. I am currently doing research as a neuroethics fellow at Cleveland Clinic. Prior to coming to OSU, I was an inaugural Sadler Scholar at the Hastings Center and a visiting scholar with the John L. Lynch, MD Center for Ethics Program for Neuroethics and Clinical Consciousness.
