Biography

I teach philosophy at Wellesley College, where I write about the nature and value of memoir and the question of what makes a life meaningful. I’m also working on a memoir about philosophy and a book about the metaphysical and ethical issues raised by twins (I am one). Alongside my academic work, I write personal essays, humor pieces and public philosophy.
