Hi! I’m a Visiting Assistant Professor in Philosophy at Haverford College.

I received my PhD in philosophy from the New School for Social Research. I’m interested in how social theory can be used as a tool to examine difficult political issues and contradictions. At its best, philosophy is a practice of thinking that can help in building better worlds.

The goal of my research is to describe how we make sense of experiences, identity, and political critique given dynamics of oppression that influence our sense-making. I contribute to conversations in Feminist Philosophy, Critical Philosophy of Race, 20th-Century Continental Philosophy, and Social Epistemology. Specifically, I’m working on the topic of narrative as a form of political critique in women of color feminisms. How does storytelling make intelligible identity over time? Or a collectivity? And can it, or should it, mobilize political critique?

I’ve taught at the New School and Fordham University. I have been a Mellon Dissertation Fellow, and an Onassis Foundation Fellow. I also love to bike, read novels, and go to the beach.
