Public Philosophy

I work with policymakers, health professionals, educators, and advocacy groups.

Public Work

I am available to consult on issues related to medical regulation, public health leadership, reproductive ethics, speech in higher education, scope of practice reform, challenge trials, and new technology.

My public work also includes media, public debates, philosophy for children, and occasional contributions to the omnipresent Taylor Swift discourse.
