I specialize in 19th and 20th Century Continental Philosophy, Ethics, and Ancient Philosophy, with competence in German Idealism and Philosophy of Religion. I am interested in the history of ethical philosophy and questions of selfhood, particularly in the classical Greek and 19th-century German contexts. My dissertation, Kierkegaard, Cultivation, and the Claim of Philosophy, focuses on Kierkegaard's thought on the cultivation of the self in response to Hegelian and Socratic models. I also research Plato's philosophy and have published a paper titled “The Possibility of Philosophy in Plato’s Sophist” in Epoché: a Journal for the History of Philosophy.
