Curriculum Vitae (323.83 KB)

I have taught at the University of Washington since 2012. I teach across the curriculum. You can find my teaching statement and a few reading lists I put together here.

My research is mainly in the history of analytic philosophy, the history of philosophy of science, values in science, and their intersections. I also like to draw attention to philosophers who have so far not figured prominently in our narratives about the development of analytic philosophy and philosophy of science in the 20th century, e.g., Susan Stebbing, Margaret MacDonald, Stephen Toulmin, and Mary Hesse. Read more about my research here.

I'm the current treasurer for The International Society for the History of Philosophy of Science (HOPOS).
