I'm interested in the intersection of epistemology and ethics in ancient Greek philosophy (especially in Plato's Socratic dialogues). I also like to explore connections between ancient philosophical thought and contemporary work on related matters.
In my dissertation (Moral Expertise and Moral Education: A Socratic Account) I developed and defended a Socratic answer to a pair of questions: what is virtue and can it be taught? (Dissertation abstract) I'm also interested in the history and philosophy of education, especially questions surrounding the nature and value of an undergraduate liberal arts education. |
