Education
I received my Ph.D.
in Philosophy from
Stony Brook University in 2005 and my Advanced Graduate
Certificate in Women's Studies (also from Stony Brook) in 2004.
My undergraduate years were spent at Colgate University where
I majored in both Philosophy and Women's
Studies.
Research
Interests
My fields of interest
include feminist theory, social and political philosophy, and
queer theory. I am currently working on a project that examines
contemporary claims of right and recognition as they are articulated
in a legal-juridical context in modern liberal states. Through
this research, I examine the disconnect between the emancipatory
promise of rights and recognition and the freedoms and restrictions
that gaining rights and recognition actually bring about for
historically marginalized persons.
