Accepting New Graduate Students
I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy, specializing in ethical theory, feminist philosophy, and in social and political philosophy; my current SSHRC-funded research project is titled Civility and Solidarity. I have previously published on themes of forgiveness, apology, reconciliation and political emotion, and I have also written about the politics of sexuality.
I am a member of the Graduate Faculty, and I am also co-editor of Feminist Philosophy Quarterly. I write and teach in moral, political, and feminist philosophy, focusing on philosophical issues arising in the aftermath of conflict: the nature and limits of forgiveness, the power and value of apologies, and the role that emotions like resentment and indignation play in reconciliation and repair. I have also worked in LGBTQ philosophy on topics ranging from the ethics of coming out to the changing nature of family. Recent publications include “Fiduciary Duties and the Ethics of Public Apology” (Journal of Applied Philosophy, 2016), “’Trust Me, I’m Sorry:’ The Paradox of Public Apology” (Monist, 2015), “Gender and the Public Apology” (Transitional Justice Review, 2013), and “Closet Doors and Stage Lights: On the Goods of Out” (Social Theory and Practice, 2012). In 2013, I co-edited an interdisciplinary collection titled Justice, Responsibility, and Reconciliation in the Wake of Conflict and published by Springer.
