I'm a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the City University of New York, Baruch College, CUNY. I am also Professor of Philosophy and Faculty Affiliate in Cognitive Science at the CUNY Graduate Center.
My research focuses on metaethics, agency, and moral psychology. In essence, I explore the nature and status of social and moral norms, as well as the factors that shape our normative cognition and behavior.
Many of my research projects are inspired by claims or arguments found in texts from the philosophical traditions of classical China, most centrally my views about selfhood, agency, and the nature of morality. Recently, I've begun exploring philosophers in the Korean tradition, starting with those involved in the renowned Four-Seven Debate of the 16th to 18th centuries.
Outside CUNY, I co-chair the Columbia Society for Comparative Philosophy alongside Allison Aitken and Jonathan Gold. I also serve as a Project Advisor for Philosophy4BetterMinds.
