I’m an Associate Professor and Chair of the Philosophy Department at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. My areas of expertise include the philosophy of race, sex, and gender, as well as applied ethics, particularly animal ethics and bioethics.

My research explores topics like feminism, the ethics of cultural appropriation, the metaphysical possibility and moral permissibility of transracialism (attempts to change one’s race), the ethics of using data from animal experimentation, academic freedom, and the ethics of risky academic inquiry.

I earned my PhD in Philosophy from Vanderbilt University and my BA with Honors in Philosophy from McGill University. I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario.
