I am an Assistant Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland. I was previously a Harper-Schmidt Fellow and a Collegiate Assistant Professor in the Social Sciences at the University of Chicago. I received my Ph.D. in philosophy from The Graduate Center, City University of New York in September 2020. ​

My primary research is in the areas of political philosophy, the history of philosophy, and environmental philosophy. I have published articles on the political economic thought of Kant, Adam Smith, and Richard Price. My current research focuses on theories of agrarianism and common property institutions (i.e. "the commons") as alternative approaches to economic and environmental justice. 

I am also co-directing a film project on green extractivism in Newfoundland. ​
