I am an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Connecticut. I got my PhD from the Committee on Social Thought and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Chicago in 2020. In 2019-20 I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Ethics.

My work in the history of philosophy focuses on the Greek and Roman as well as Islamo-Arabic traditions. Thematically, I am particularly interested in the concept of “nature” and its mutations. Outside of the history of philosophy, I also write about social and political philosophy, including questions of racial justice and inequality as well as feminism.
