Research Interests

I work primarily within ethics. My current work pertains to questions about the epistemic condition of blameworthiness—questions about the conditions for ignorance excusing an agent from blame. In particular, I am interested in further exploring the way that the non-ideal agency of real agents and their non-ideal epistemic environments might mitigate, if not excuse, their moral ignorance. I am also interested in the intersection of epistemology and metaethics, especially the relation between interalist conceptions of epistemic justification and moral reasons for action.
