I am Associate Professor and Chair of Philosophy at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. My areas of expertise include the philosophy of race, sex, and gender, and applied ethics, including animal ethics and bioethics.

My research explores topics like feminism, the ethics of cultural appropriation, the metaphysical possibility and moral permissibility of transracialism (attempts to change one’s race), the ethics of using knowledge from animal experimentation, academic freedom and the ethics of risky academic inquiry.

I received my PhD in Philosophy from Vanderbilt University and my BA with Honors in Philosophy from McGill University. I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario.
