My research interests fall broadly within the following areas: - Moral Psychology - Ethics and Moral Philosophy - Experimental Philosophy - Philosophy of Psychology and Cognitive Science I'm especially interested in various questions at the intersection of ethics and psychology. My research is interdisciplinary, and I use analytic philosophy and empirical methods to investigate the psychological underpinnings of moral judgments, moral concepts, and moral agency, and to explore the implications of this for normative questions in ethics. Topics include the ethics of consent; moral responsibility; debunking and moral epistemology; moral intuition and metaphilosophy; moral decision-making; and others.
