Research

Area of speicalization: Epistemology (theoretical, social, & political)

Areas of concentration: Ethics, Philosophy of Mind, and Metaphysics. I'm especially interested in topics where epistemology intersects with other areas of philosophy.

I'm currently writing a book on indoctrination.

I'm also working on papers in social & political epistemology, including the epistemology and ethics of conspiracy theory; the epistemology of echo chambers; and the ethics of conviction and suspension of judgment.

I'm embedded within the ERC Extreme Beliefs project. I'm also part of the DFG Thinking about Suspension network.
