My research largely centres on normativity across the epistemic and ethical domains. For the past couple of years I have explored epistemic blame and its ethics, especially the standing to epistemically blame, and continue to work on these issues. In addition to epistemic blame, I have current research projects on moral testimony and aesthetic realism.
I have secondary research interests in aesthetics and early modern philosophy.
