About
My dissertation research focuses on well-being and prudential reasoning in relation to body-transforming medical interventions. For example, surgeries to grant new capacities to people with disabilities, sex reassignment surgery, and limb amputation surgery for people with Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID).
My other research interests include: Merleau-Ponty, the McDowell-Dreyfus non-conceptual content debate, reflective equilibrium and moral epistemology, personal identity, the definition of death, and philosophy science.
I am currently a member of the ethics committee at the Maimonides Geriatric Centre and I recently taught a graduate seminar on bioethical theory at the Biomedical Ethics Unit of McGill University.
