I'm an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
My area of specialization is in the history of early modern philosophy, with a focus on John Locke and feminist history of philosophy. As of late, I'm especially interested in bringing historical philosophical texts to bear on lived experiences (today) and the overlap between history of philosophy and contemporary social epistemology.
