I study responsibility, social interpretation, and emotion using a pluralist set of philosophical resources, including 20th-century European philosophy, social epistemology, feminist philosophy, moral psychology, and philosophical hermeneutics. I also maintain a research program on the life and work of Hannah Arendt.
My current research includes: an article on the distinctive place of the town hall in Arendt’s vision for participatory democratic institutions; an article on ‘political speechlessness’; an article on friendship and politics; and a monograph on the emotions of being socially (but not agentially) affiliated with wrongdoing. I also teach broadly in the history of philosophy.
