Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, The University of Tennessee

▪ Research

I'm working on the following papers (I'll link to them as they become available; comments thoroughly appreciated!):

    ▫ Contextualism and Interest-Relative Invariantism

    ▫ Hiddenness, Evidence, and Idolatry (with Jeff Cervantez)

    ▫ Problems for Foley's Accounts of Rational Belief and Responsible Belief (with Matt Deaton)

    ▫ Sutton's Without Justification   

    ▫ Luck, Fragility, and Control

▪ Teaching

I'm on "research leave," so no courses at the moment.  Your best bet to find me this semester is to check here.

[Why the blues, golds, and greens?  I did my Ph.D. at The University of Notre Dame.]
