History of Late Modern Philosophy, with an emphasis on Phenomenology and Ethics (especially Heidegger, Arendt, and Hegel), Philosophy of Law (especially Global Justice), Social and Political Philosophy (especially Rousseau and Wollstonecraft), Feminist approaches to Philosophy, Meta-philosophy

My philosophical investigations center on bringing the resources of the history of philosophy to bear on understanding and practically responding to contemporary ethical challenges. To that end, I am working on two larger projects. The first uses Heidegger’s analyses of traditional ontology, modern freedom, and technology to help us understand the sexually violent and pornographic culture of late modernity. The second presents the philosophical work that resulted in international and legal recognition of the sexual atrocity dimension of genocide and situates those efforts in relation to Arendt’s project in Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil and her phenomenological ethics. A significant aspect of these investigations is meta-philosophical; it grapples with the question of the nature and task of philosophy in our time and historically.
