I am an Assistant Professor at McGill University, jointly appointed in the Department of Equity, Ethics and Policy

and the Department of Philosophy. I am also a member of the Centre for Research in Ethics (CRÉ).

 

I work in philosophy of psychiatry and philosophy of mind, as these intersect with social epistemology,  feminist philosophy, and ethics. My research explores how the environments we inhabit (social, institutional, technological) shape emotion, agency, and self-understanding, and what this means for questions of mental health equity and justice. I focus particularly on addiction, epistemic and affective injustices related to sanism, and the normative evaluation of emerging mental health technologies, including AI tools. I am an organizing member of CRÉ-POHM, an interdisciplinary research group in philosophy of mental health. 

​

I received my Ph.D in Philosophy at the Graduate Center, CUNY.​ I previously held a SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship at McGill University, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre for Research in Ethics (CRÉ)
