I am the Richard L. Morrill Chair of Ethics and Democratic Values and Professor of Leadership Studies and Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law at the University of Richmond. I am also the Editor-in-Chief of Public Affairs Quarterly.
My research is mostly in applied ethics. I've written about medicine, pregnancy, sex work, language, wealth inequality, economic freedom, leadership, and pop culture.
More generally, I am interested in the ways that formal rules and informal norms shape our lives.
