Welcome here. 

I’m an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in the Philosophy Department at Rice University. I received my PhD at Columbia University in 2019.

My interests focus on German Philosophy, Social Philosophy and Political Economy. At the moment, I have three research projects. The first explains Hegel’s model of our relationship to social roles, and defends it as a contemporary view. The second reconstructs the Political Economy of German Idealism – and draws from it lessons for the present. The third focusses on Schelling’s metaphysics of freedom.

I’ve pursued these research projects in some published and forthcoming papers, but also in my teaching. I’ve also organized various conferences, and currently serve as one of the co-conveners of the Houston Colloquium in German Philosophy (You can find my CV here and my Rice faculty page here).
