I am currently an Associate Professor (with tenure) in the Philosophy Department at Princeton University,

where I am also the George H. and Mildred F. Whitfield University Preceptor in the Humanities.

Before coming to Princeton, I taught at my alma mater, the University of Notre Dame and was a Junior Fellow

in the Harvard Society of Fellows. I also did my graduate work at Harvard, writing a thesis under the direction

of Derek Parfit, Jim Pryor, and the late Robert Nozick.

My research interests lie primarily within epistemology (broadly construed) and the theory of rationality.

Current interests include the relationship between theoretical and practical rationality, the epistemological significance

of persistent disagreement, and the extent to which one’s starting point constrains the kinds of revisions in one’s

beliefs that philosophical argument might legitimately inspire.
