At Duke, I am appointed to the Pratt School of Engineering and the Kenan Institute for Ethics. I consult with engineering faculty on ethics, design courses and programming to cultivate positive character traits, teach students, and engage in research (mostly in applied ethics, political philosophy, and pedagogy).
I live in Durham with my wonderful wife, joyful son, and baby daughter. We enjoy reading and spending time in nature.
My dissertation, "The Ethics of Politicization," won the department's outstanding dissertation award. I gave an account of what it means to politicize and provided a moral evaluation of the phenomenon. My committee included Francis Beckwith, David Corey, Robert Talisse, Anne Jeffrey, and Thomas Hibbs.
