Expertise

My primary areas of research are epistemology and the philosophy of psychology. In the past, a lot of my research has focused on motivating and developing non-reductive approaches to virtue epistemology; however, more recently I’ve become interested in how the tools and resources of psychology and cognitive science might speak to pressing issues in social epistemology (interpersonal, group, and system), religious epistemology, and philosophical methodology.
