I'm an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Virginia and I work on topics in analytic feminist philosophy and social metaphysics. I am also the Associate Chair of the APA Committee on LGBTQ People in the Profession.

My current research focuses on the nature of oppression, topics in the metaphysics and ethics of sexuality, and methodologies in feminist philosophy.
