I am an Assistant Teaching Professor of philosophy at the Pennsylvania State University. I got my PhD in philosophy from Syracuse University in August 2022. My research focuses on well-being (what is intrinsically good for us) and ill-being (what is intrinsically bad for us).
I have worked on the relation between well-being, alienation, and resonance. For something to be good for a person, does she need to be able to see it that way? I argue that she does, but that objectivist views about well-being can explain that, contrary to widespread assumption.
I am currently working on grief and well-being. The central question is: how can grief be good for us when it is so painful? I argue that the pains of grief are uniquely positioned to help us get the goods of grief.
