Research Description

Much of my research focuses on the question of when we are justified in believing a moral claim. My dissertation addresses the role that intuitions play in moral judgment. More recent work has focused on the social aspects of moral reasoning, including how one ought to weigh disagreement and whether or not two people who reason flawlessly about morality could come to hold incompatible moral views. In the near future, I will be presenting some conference papers on sexual ethics.
