I'm a philosophy graduate student at MIT.

Before coming here, I went to Swarthmore College. I work on epistemology and sometimes painting. My dissertation focuses on higher-order evidence, permissivism, and more generally, the relationship between epistemic rationality and truth.

Publications/Forthcoming
Epistemic Akrasia, forthcoming in Noûs
Rational Half Measures, forthcoming in Philosophical Studies (draft coming soon)

In Progress
Respecting All the Evidence (with Paulina Sliwa)
What Is Epistemic Value?

I also run the Epistemology Reading Group at MIT, to which everyone is invited.
