I am Associate Professor of Law and Associate Graduate Faculty in Philosophy at Rutgers University. I am also Principal Investigator for a research project on ‘The Spontaneity of Freedom’ (SPONT) selected for funding by the European Research Council and funded by UK Research and Innovation through the Horizon Europe Guarantee scheme.
I’m working on three projects. The first is a series of articles on free speech, democratic theory, culture, AI, and digital platforms. The most recent publication from this project is Thinking in the Dark: The Case for Surreal Speech, now available on SSRN.
Another is a book about spontaneous freedom–the freedom of acting in unplanned and unscripted ways–and its implications for ethics, politics, law, and technology. An overview of this project is provided by my paper in Ethics.
The third is a monograph co-authored with Daniela Dover on Simone de Beauvoir’s moral psychology, metaethics, and ethics. An introduction to this project is provided by our paper in Berislav Marušić and Mark Schroeder’s volume on Analytic Existentialism.
In the past several years, I have taught property law, copyright law, moral philosophy, and jurisprudence, as well as seminars on political philosophy, colonialism, and ethical theory.
