I'm a professional philosopher.
Research
I study moral responsibility and the factors that make us more or less responsible. My focus is how we hold ourselves and others responsible by blaming, apologizing, and forgiving. I also study the responsibilities of engineers and other professionals and investigate how technologies, public policies, and social conditions shape their responsibilities.

Publications
My academic publications focus primarily on moral responsibility, blame, and forgiveness. Recently, I have been writing about how and when we should blame, apologize, and forgive. However, I have also written book reviews and blog posts, recorded podcasts, and given public lectures about forgiveness, political apology, global poverty, and tobacco control.

Teaching
I've taught courses in ethics, social and political philosophy, and philosophy of action (free will, agency, and responsibility), as well as applied ethics, science and engineering ethics, business ethics, research ethics, and technology ethics. Recently, I have also done some private ethics consulting.
