Research
(Hello there! This page is very much in draft form! Below are the briefest possible remarks describing my work.)
I work mainly in epistemology. My dissertation investigates the normative consequences of a certain kind of defeat, which I call "presumption defeat".
WORKS IN PROGRESS (email me for drafts!)
[a paper on KK] (under review)
In this paper, I examine how well KK, if true, can explain why dubious assertions are infelicitous.
The Varieties of Infelicity
In this paper, I examine the different things that "infelicitous" might mean, and study the consequences for arguments concerning various norms on assertion.
De Se Ignorance and Self-Promises
In this paper, I argue that in cases of de se ignorance, self-promises are perfectly coherent. Various morals are drawn.
Cautious Monotonicity: Not Cautious Enough?
In this paper, I advance a counterexample to Cautious Monotonicity.
