Philosophy

I completed my PhD in Philosophy at the New School for Social Research in New York in spring of 2021. My dissertation questions the status of possibility in Aristotle, Heidegger, and Ernst Bloch, with emphasis given to the capacity for individual agency. In addition to this, my areas of philosophical expertise include Aristotle, Kant, critical theory, and phenomenology. My areas of interest include social ontology, philosophy of technology, environmental ethics, and theories of race, sex, and gender. Working primarily within the scope of continental philosophy, I look to engage notions of identity and agency, and to question traditional conceptions of possibility that condition and inform our notions of humanity. Aiming to uncover those countervailing possibilities that disrupt, shift, and skew to static notions of the status quo and self, I examine aspirational, technological, and ecological fixtures in relation to individual and collective empowerment.
