I research and write in the areas of 19th- and 20th-century European philosophy (especially Friedrich Nietzsche), ethics (including moral psychology), and environmental philosophy.
My work on Nietzsche focuses on his moral psychology and the problem of nihilism (especially affective nihilism) in his thought. My monograph on affective nihilism in Nietzsche, The Problem of Affective Nihilism in Nietzsche, is now out with Palgrave Macmillan.
I am also interested in Nietzsche's account of self-knowledge, agency, and personal transformation, the transformative potential of affectivity, and the socio-cultural mediation of affects. For more on these interests, see this short member interview for the APA blog.
In my environmental philosophy research, I critically evaluate "new conservationist" (neo-green) ideology and policy and offer Nietzschean perspectives on environmental philosophy.
