Research, teaching, and advocacy in ecofeminism, animal ethics, and philosophy for children.
About Me
I am an independent scholar and an affiliate instructor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Washington.
My main area of research is ecofeminist animal ethics. I think and write about conflicts of interest between humans and other animals. I am delighted that my new book, Defending Animals, Disappointing People (Bloomsbury, 2026) is now available!
I have a keen interest in what moral repair might look like in an inter-species setting, in particular in the context of animal sanctuaries.
My other passion is doing philosophy with young people. I spent the last 16 years, many of them working as Education Educator, for the Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization as well as over a decade as Philosopher-in-Residence at John Muir Elementary, a public elementary school in Seattle, WA.
A recent copy of my CV is available here.
