I am a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. My main research interests are in metaphysics, but I also have interests in various other areas of philosophy, including epistemology, ethics, decision theory, and philosophy of art.

 

I received my BA in Philosophy and English from Oberlin College, and my PhD in Philosophy from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I have taught at Lawrence University, the University of New Hampshire, West Virginia University, and Western Washington University. I joined the faculty of UMass Amherst in 2015.
