Academic Interests: My research program aims to address philosophical questions from the perspective of conceptual development. I am developing studies that examine children's construction of imaginary and fictional worlds as a means for the exploration of possibility and perfection. I am also studying children's intuitive theories of biology, and how growing up in a computational culture may be altering conceptions of what it means to be human.
