About Me

Picture
​​I'm an associate professor of the Sage School of Philosophy at Cornell University, where I've been teaching since 2013. Before that, I was a junior fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows from 2011 to 2013. I did my graduate work in philosophy at MIT from 2006 to 2011, with the generous support of a General Sir John Monash scholarship. I was an undergraduate at the University of Melbourne (my hometown), where I studied philosophy, logic, and computer science.

Now, I do moral philosophy (especially metaethics and moral psychology). feminist philosophy, and social philosophy. I also enjoy writing opinion pieces, essays, and reviews for a wider audience. 

If you want to get a quick sense of my background and interests, I was interviewed by Clifford Sosis for his website, "What is it Like to be a Philosopher?" in January 2018. And here's an extended conversation I had with Ezra Klein on his podcast early in 2019. 

Late in 2017, published an academic/trade "crossover" book called Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny (Oxford University Press: New York, 2018; Penguin UK, 2019) about the nature, function, and persistence of misogyny. You can read more about it here.  


My second book, Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women came out in August 2020, with Crown (US) and Penguin (UK).  For more about it, see here.
