Throughout my career as a student and teacher of philosophy I have had a persistent and personal interest in existential themes and questions about the meaning of life in the face of the world's absurdity and death's inevitability. For this reason I have specializations in existential philosophy and philosophy of religion.
My most recent scholarly interests lie in the fields of epistemology (the study of what we can know and how we know it) and the philosophy of mind. Many of my upper level courses address questions about the nature of thinking and consciousness and about the status of scientific knowledge and its relation to other ways of knowing.
