About Me<\/h1>

I’m a philosopher from Nova Scotia, Canada, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi\u2019kmaq People. I work in feminist bioethics, with a focus on the ethics of eating. My research<\/a>\u00a0engages with multiple philosophical traditions, such as phenomenology, social epistemology, and philosophy of science, as well as interdisciplinary fields including Disability Studies, Fat Studies, and Food Studies.\u00a0<\/p>

You can learn more about me and my work in this recent interview<\/a>, or in this 2022 interview<\/a>\u00a0at the\u00a0Blog of the American Philosophical Association<\/i>.<\/p>

In 2020, I joined the Philosophy Department\u00a0at Michigan State University<\/a> as Assistant Professor. MSU occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabeg \u2013 Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples. In particular, the University resides on Land ceded in the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw.<\/p>

I am the North American Coordinator for Culinary Mind: Center for Philosophy of Food<\/a>. We organize online and in-person events connecting people working on food and eating around the world—you can learn more about our events and join our mailing list at our website.<\/a><\/p>

As of fall 2023, I am currently unavailable to work with new graduate students. If you are interested in working with me at MSU in future years, please get in touch.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>
