Research Interests

I do philosophy of logic. My favorite adjacent areas are the philosophy of language and the philosophy of science. I am particularly interested in the normative status of logic, conceptual engineering, modality, and pretense.

I am working on the normativity of logic for the dissertation (with Kevin Scharp).
