I am a third-year Philosophy graduate student at New York University. Before coming here I attended graduate school at Rutgers University for two years, and before that I received my B.A. in Philosophy from Western Washington University.
I'm interested in a variety of areas of Philosophy, but the area I love above all others is Metaphysics, especially the topics of: Abstracta, Causation, Location, Mereology, Modality, Ontology, Time and Topology. I also enjoy learning about Linguistics (especially topics like: scalar implicature, NPIs, vacuous quantification, semantic underspecification...). Other areas of Philosophy I'm interested in include Philosophy of Language, Moral Psychology, Philosophy of Logic, Kant and Philosophy of Religion.
When I'm not busy learning about any of those topics (or making lists of said topics), I'm often doing one of these things instead: attending and organising conferences, jogging, dancing, learning to cook, and visiting friends and family in Ketchikan (my hometown in Alaska) and Bellingham.
