I’m a moral philosopher by trade. My primary interests are in metaethics (esp. non-naturalist moral realism), normative ethics (esp. the moral significance of relationships), and applied ethics (esp. animal ethics). Since fall 2024, I’ve been a VAP at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, USA. Before that, I was Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Koç University in Istanbul. I’ve also worked at Texas State University; Australian Catholic University’s Dianoia Institute; Northwestern University; and Coastal Carolina University. And when a grad student, I taught undergraduate courses at both the University of Wisconsin and Madison Area Technical College. I completed my PhD in 2012 at UW-Madison with Russ Shafer-Landau as my advisor.
