I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy, affiliated faculty in the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program, and member of the Graduate Faculty at Illinois State University. My teaching and research focuses on ethics (especially environmental ethics) and political philosophy. I am particularly interested in how we construct the boundaries of our moral space, sympathy, collective agency, the ethics and politics of energy, and ‘nature’ as a normative concept. I was awarded an ACLS Fellowship in 2025 for my work on Energy Democracy. I was a recipient of the College of Arts and Science Excellence Award for Outstanding Teaching Pre-tenure in 2021. I received my PhD from the New School for Social Research, where I worked with Nancy Fraser (supervisor), Ross Poole, and Virginia Held on collective responsibly and climate change. My home is in Champaign, IL. I enjoy both playing and making both board games and music.
