About Me

Thanks for checking out my site. I am a 5th year graduate student in the philosophy department of the University of Texas at Austin.

My research interests are primarily in the philosophy of language and philosophical logic. My graduate work is supervised by Josh Dever.

Some topics of interest to me...

• How a general theory of assertion can explain what information is conveyed by conditionals

• If epistemic modality (among other sorts) can be reduced to cognitive states of speakers

• The relationship between asking a question and being in a state with interogative (whether this or that) content
  
  

Before moving to Austin I lived in Seattle, where I studied philosophy and linguistics at the University of Washington.

Apart from my studies, I organize with Juan Diego Rodriguez the South By Semantics Workshop.
