My research focuses primarily on the nature and value of emotional attitudes in moral, social, and political life. In 2021, I published my first monograph, Hope Under Oppression (Oxford University Press). The book explores how hope operates at the individual and collective levels in conditions of oppression. It also illustrates the relationship between hope and other attitudes in complicated socio-political contexts including trust, anger, bitterness, and faith.

​

I am in the early stages of writing a new book titled Freeing the Heart. The book explores implications of cutting-edge empirical research on social and emotional development for dominant approaches to moral responsibility in philosophy.

In 2022, I was recipient of the Faculty of Humanities Early Career Excellence in Research Award at the University of Victoria.
