I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Philosophy Department at the University of Texas at Austin, where I got my PhD as a part of the Joint Program for Ancient Philosophy. My BA is from the University of Toronto. I work on Ancient Greek philosophy, especially philosophy of language and metaphysics, with a focus on the Stoics. I am particularly interested in the Stoic theory of lekta, the development of theories of language and meaning in antiquity, and applications of the Stoic theory in contemporary philosophy of language. While I work primarily on Hellenistic philosophy, I've also published papers on the Presocratics and Plato's metaphysics. Outside of the history of philosophy, I am interested in questions about speech acts and the metaphysics of propositions. |
