Biography
I'm a PhD student in the philosophy department. My thesis focuses on the ethics of masculinity's place in our loving and sexual relationships. Currently, I am investigating whether we can/should think of masculinities as being sexually objectified.
Beyond the philosophy of love and sex, I also have research interests in ethics more broadly, feminism, post-Kantian philosophy, and social philosophy.
In addittion to my PhD research, I have also taught on a range of modules within the department, including: Ethics and Values, Introduction to Post-Kantian Philosophy, Moral Theory.

- Ethics (meta-ethics, normative, and applied)
