I am a philosopher (Ph.D., UCLA; C. Phil., UCLA; M.A., UCLA; B.A., NYU)
and sometimes-professor interested primarily in:
Language and Mind
Ethics
AI
Feminist Philosophy
The History of Philosophy (esp. Early Modern and Analytic Philosophy)
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In addition to my traditional academic work, I am prone to making music and writing broadly.
Since early 2025, I have been investigating the novel and changing terrain of AI-assisted media creation, especially full-length text (books, scripts, etc.), music, and visual art as part of my philosophical research, drawing generally cautionary and pessimistic conclusions, with some qualifications.
(No writing or other work claimed as my own is the product of AI-assistance.)
My current, more purely philosophical project concerns some of the historical roots of contemporary philosophy in (medieval) Islamic and (later) European philosophy, focusing especially on the legacy of Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and under-appreciated links to later European philosophy, science, and politics.
