I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Syracuse University  and a Faculty Fellow at Notre Dame’s Institute for Ethics and the Common Good for the 2025-2026 academic year.  Before coming to Syracuse University in 2021, I taught at Boston College, Colgate University, and the University of Denver.  I was also a Mandel postdoctoral fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

My book, For the Love of Metaphysics: Nihilism and the Conflict of Reason from Kant to  Rosenzweig (Oxford University Press, 2018), offers a new perspective on the history of German Idealism that focuses on the role of the principle of sufficient reason and the idea of a primacy of practical reason.  I am also the author of a number of articles on topics at the intersection of ethics and metaphysics in Kant, post-Kantian German Idealism, and modern Jewish thought in journals such as Journal of the History of Philosophy, Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie, European Journal of Philosophy, and Journal of Philosophical Research. 

I am currently writing a book on the topic of the highest good in the Kantian and post-Kantian philosophical traditions.   For further details on these projects, see my research page.

Much of my effort to promote diversity and inclusion in the discipline has focused on creating a support network for women working on Kant and post-Kantian philosophy.  Together with Katharina Kaiser (UC Berkeley), Dina Emundts (FU Berlin), and Kristin Primus (UC Berkeley), I organize an annual summer colloquium in Berlin for women working in these areas.
