After earning a B.F.A. in dance, he transitioned to philosophy with an M.A. from Tufts. Now pursuing a PhD at UC, San Diego, he is interested in questions about how we can be (more) effective at performing our intended actions. As such, he thinks about the general
limitations of our agency and how we can leverage our planning capacities to optimize our effectiveness within those limitations. He also thinks about how oppression and privilege impact both our immediate and extended agency, and how we can successfully navigate the specific limitations imposed on our agency by our social positions.
