I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Trent University in Peterborough Ontario, and affiliated faculty in Gender and Women's Studies, as well as a member of the faculty of the MA program in Sustainability Studies. I was previously a faculty member at St. Mary's College of Maryland, as a member of the Philosophy and Religious Studies department and the steering committees of the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Environmental Studies programs.
In 2015, I became a co-founder and co-editor of Feminist Philosophy Quarterly, a peer-reviewed, open-access journal free to authors and readers.
My ongoing projects include research in moral emotions and ethical virtues, especially forgiveness, humility, receptivity, and care. Everything I write returns to the nature of interpersonal relationships and the importance of the idea of a relational self to philosophy, so I am working more these days on the meta-ethics of relations. Since I am happy with pessimism, I set all my theorizing in a non-ideal context, although I'm still working out what non-ideal ethical theory is. My interests in non-ideal theory and relationships directs my interests in applied ethics, including work on miscarriage and pregnancy loss, environmental ethics, and teaching ethics.
