Hello! I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Grand Valley State University. In my primary research in feminist ethics, I analyze how unjust conditions structure ethical and interpersonal practices. For instance, I argue that oppressive norms are embedded in practices like blaming, excusing, interpersonal conflict resolution, and emotion regulation, and develop ethical guidance to help correct these norms. I am especially interested in identifying the emotional or affective harms of structural injustice as they bear on these practices. I have published in Hypatia, Ergo, and Social Philosophy Today on these topics. Additionally, I have research interests in philosophical pedagogy concerning how some philosophical methods can exacerbate the marginalization of vulnerable groups, and in philosophy of psychiatry where I argue that treatment narratives can be weaponized against mentally ill people. I combine approaches from feminist philosophy, social philosophy, ethics (especially non-ideal ethics), moral psychology, and existentialism to address these issues. Previously, I was a Resident Ethics Fellow in the Stockdale Center for Ethics at the U.S. Naval Academy where I participated in a year-long seminar on moral virtue and moral injury. I completed my dissertation, “Suffering and Self-Sabotage in Ethical Life” at the University of Connecticut where I was also a Dissertation Fellow at the University of Connecticut Humanities Institute.
