(Ph.D., North Carolina)
Associate Professor; History of Modern Philosophy

My research mainly focuses on the history of early modern philosophy, especially that of John Locke’s theoretical philosophy. I also have substantial interests in the philosophy of Mind and Language, especially the continuities and discontinuities between human minds and language and non-human minds and communication.

I’ve recently undertaken a digital scholarship project that aims to map Hume’s philosophical corpus by reverse engineering the expert knowledge contained in recent scholarly research on Hume.
