RESEARCH

My research has mainly situated at the intersection of epistemology, theory of normativity and philosophy of mind. I’m currently interested in understanding epistemic risks in moral and political deliberation, epistemic agency and topics in political epistemology such as the epistemic value of democracy and political disagreement.
