My primary area of interest is ethics, including meta-ethics, normative theory, and applied theory. This means I like to look at concepts, like the concepts of goodness and rightness (that would be metaethics), to make and assess claims about what is actually the right way to do things (normative ethics), and to analyze and propose solutions to specific moral issues (which is applied ethics). I am also interested in feminism, history of philosophy, and African philosophy.
