Assistant Professor, Community and Population Health College of Health What are your research interests?I am a moral philosopher who uses questions about disability and bioethics to rethink foundational questions in ethical and political theory. My work encompasses four interconnected lines of inquiry: (1) moral status; (2) capacity and communication; (3) bio- and neuroethics, and (4) the emotional, political and social contexts of disability. I also have two qualitative projects, the first on non-spoken but meaning conveying forms of communication salient to non-speaking humans, and the latter on integrating virtue ethics into medical school ethics curriculums.What classes are you teaching at Lehigh?Advanced Research Ethics, Bioethics, Philosophy of Medicine.What degrees do you hold and where did you earn them?Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles, Department of Philosophy (2021)Postdoctoral Researcher, Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles (2021-2024).What was your previous institution?UCLA.What do you enjoy most about teaching?Developing collaborative learning environments with my students.Why did you choose Lehigh?I love the opportunity to help build the College of Health, and the emphasis on interdisciplinary, collaborative research there.
