Political Philosophy
I primarily focus on what our moral obligations are in a political society and what role the state has to play in promoting that behavior, if any. I am also interested in conceptions of rights and their development in society. Lastly, I also have interests in certain areas of political epistemology.

Ethics
Much of my work in ethics overlaps with my interest in political philosophy. I am currently interested in questions about moral responsibility and blameworthiness in voting and other forms of political participation. I also have interests in just war theory and military ethics, and I am intrigued by the virtue of love being the foundation of our morality.
