My research is in philosophy of mind and in particular the philosophy of imagination. Noël Carroll has referred to the imagination as the "junkyard of the mind," a place where everything gets put in. Much of my current work aims to tidy up this junkyard.
In the past twenty years or so, there has been a burgeoning philosophical interest in the imagination. The current research lies at the crossroads of various sub-disciplines of philosophy, including aesthetics, moral psychology, ethics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind. My work joins this choir as a voice from within philosophy of mind. My interest is in the proper relation between supposing and imagining, the nature of imaginative resistance, as well as the relation between attention, imagination and knowledge.
My first job after completing my Ph.D. was as a postdoctoral teaching fellow in business ethics at the Heider College of Business of Creighton University. This opportunity has allowed me to gain experience teaching business ethics at a business school and it has allowed me to begin doing research in business ethics. See my papers for current projects.
