I’m an assistant professor in the
philosophy department at California State
University, Northridge. I received
my Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln in May, 2001, and
my B.A. from Auburn University in 1994. Although epistemology
is my primary philosophical interest – my dissertation is entitled “Contextualism
and Skepticism about the External World” – I’m also interested in the
history of modern philosophy, metaphysics,
philosophy of mind,
Wittgenstein, and ancient philosophy. In my spare time, especially on Saturdays and Sundays, I have an awfully bad habit of watching football. I also enjoy going to the movies, and watching TV. (Once upon a time, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was my favorite show, but now I think I’d give the nod to The Office.) And sometimes, I find that I enjoy reading things other than philosophy, including the novels of Jane Austen and histories of the First World War. |
