Biography:
My primary area of research lies at the intersection of analytic aesthetics and philosophy of language. I work on what readers say about fiction (truth-in-fiction statements), what authorizes them to say what they say (fiction’s rules of generation), what readers find appreciable about literature (themes and thematic appreciation), and how readers and hearers think about large linguistic representations (conversational and discursive aboutness).
I have also worked on ancient Greek philosophy, especially Plato’s account of falsehood (statements about being and non-being in the Sophist) and Stoic views on what it is to mean something (lekta).
In addition to research in philosophy, I am interested in pedagogy and, in particular, in approaches to undergraduate writing instructorship in the age of generative AI.
