Research

My research specializations are meta-ethics (especially moral responsibility), social epistemology (especially epistemic injustice), ethics of technology (engineering, computing, and artificial intelligence), and philosophy of education (especially interdisciplinary ethics teaching).

Current Projects

I am actively researching the following topics, with articles in various stages of preparation:
  • Conceptual and cultural connections between artificial intelligence and magic
  • Interdisciplinary ethics education, especially in technical fields of study
  • Game-based learning
Full texts of all my publications, when possible, are available on my PhilPeople profile.
