In the spring of 2008 I completed a Ph.D in the department of philosophy at UNC - Chapel Hill. I am currently spending a year as a postdoctoral Research Associate at the Center for Cognitive Studies (Tufts University) working with Dan Dennett; I am concurrently working as a visiting researcher in the Cognitive Evolution Laboratory at Harvard University. Beginning in the fall of 2009, I will be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Georgetown University (and I will concurrently begin to support the Hoyas).

My philosophical research focuses on the coordination and integration of cognitive mechanisms. I am especially interested in how minds solve complex representational tasks in an ever changing world.

On the basis of  this research, I am currently writing a book manuscript in which I argue for the claim that some groups, as such, have the capacity to be in cognitive states just like individuals.

I am also engaged in a number of experimental projects with Marc Hauser, as well as other collaborators. We are investigating the cognitive mechanisms that are required for making moral judgments.  If you would like to volunteer for an on-line experiment, please check out the moral sense test.

For other projects that I am currently working on, please see my 'papers' page.
