Research
I work at the intersection of philosophy and the creative arts, with particular interests in fiction, poetry, the philosophy of love, the intersections of philosophy and literature, and a priori knowledge. I’ve published one monograph, one a co-authored book of poetry, three public-facing non-fiction books, and a novel that was a finalist for the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize 2022.
