I am an associate professor of philosophy at Syracuse University. I am also an Affiliate Faculty member of Women's and Gender Studies and African American Studies. I earned my PhD in Philosophy at Rutgers University (2011).
I am the co-editor of The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race (w/Paul Taylor and Linda Martín Alcoff, 2017) and the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Applied Philosophy of Language (w/Ernie Lepore). I am also the author of several articles on the semantics and pragmatics of racial slurs, epistemic injustice, and racial humor.
My research and teaching interests include philosophy of language, African American philosophy, aesthetics, humor, and social ontology. I am currently writing books on the Ethics of Racial Humor (OUP) and The Philosophy of Race and Racism (Routledge). You can find out more about me and my research by clicking on the menu tabs.
