I'm Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at the City University of New York, Baruch College, and Professor of Philosophy at the CUNY Graduate Center.

Most of my research is in moral psychology, broadly construed. I want to understand what factors can help us realize or instantiate our moral values on the one hand, and what factors can hinder or defeat them on the other. I use resources from a number of research areas to inform my work, such as anthropology, evolutionary biology, and especially experimental psychology. I also draw extensively from the history of Chinese philosophy, especially the classical period (ca. 6th to 2nd century BCE). More recently, I have begun to explore philosophers in the Korean tradition.

I teach classes in ethics, metaethics, moral psychology, Chinese philosophy, philosophy of religion, and experimental philosophy. Recently, I was honored with Baruch College’s most prestigious teaching award for full-time faculty, the Presidential Excellence Award for Distinguished Teaching (2022).

Outside of my teaching and administrative roles, I am a co-chair of the Columbia Society for Comparative Philosophy and a Project Advisor for Philosophy4BetterMinds.

I am a recovering hardcore NBA fan. I may relapse.
