Associate Professor of Philosophy, Illinois State University
Outstanding Teacher Award, Illinois State University (2021)
ACLS Fellow (2025)

My research and teaching focuses on ethics (especially environmental ethics) and political philosophy. I am particularly interested in how we construct the boundaries of our moral space, sympathy, collective agency, the ethics and politics of energy, and ‘nature’ as a normative concept. I am an affiliated faculty in the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program, and member of the Graduate Faculty. In 2025, I was awarded an ACLS Fellowship for my work on Energy Democracy. I received the College of Arts and Science Excellence Award for Outstanding Teaching Pre-tenure in 2021. I did my PhD at the New School for Social Research, where I worked with Nancy Fraser on collective responsibly and climate change. My home is in Champaign, IL. I enjoy both playing and making both board games and music.
