Assistant Professor
2018, PhD in Philosophy, University of Texas
Bio
I got my PhD at the University of Texas in 2018, before teaching at the University of California-Davis for a couple of years. Then I came to Zayed. My work is in ethics and the history of ethics. I’m currently working on a project where I try to apply an insight from Plato’s Republic to better understand the nature of moral virtue.
