Research:
My research primarily focuses on the metaphysics of powers and dispositions, as well as related topics such as power-based accounts of modality, properties, causation, and laws of nature. I also explore powers in ethics. I am currently developing a realist account of power in weakness, for example, the power of a lamb to move people towards veganism.
Bio:
Besides philosophy, I enjoy watching movies and spending time with animals. My dream is to have a small family farm or to help build a sanctuary for factory-farmed animals.
