My research
focuses on issues in personal autonomy and moral responsibility and,
more recently, on evil and psychopathy,
and on self-identity and self-knowledge. My
teaching interests center on these areas as well as topics in
Philosophy of Law. I have taught at
universities in California
and Ohio before joining
the faculty at UF in 2003. During the past
year I have been on a sabbatical leave, and completed a book, Personal Autonomy in Society (Ashgate,
2006). I spent the Spring 2007 semester as
a visiting professor at Utrecht
University in the Netherlands
and cannot wait to finagle a return. I will be leaving UF to join
the Philosophy Department at the University of California, Davis, in
the fall of 2009.
