ABOUT ME
|
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Alberta. I am an academic philosopher and a trained lawyer interested in Social Epistemology, Indigenous Philosophy, and Moral and Legal Philosophy. I have a background in the history of Western philosophy with expertise in early modern epistemology. I received my Ph.D. in Philosophy from McMaster University in 2021, where I worked with Professor Wil Waluchow.
Before taking my position at the University of Alberta, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy project under the supervision of Professor Lisa Shapiro. My ongoing research focuses on developing methodological tools that enable Western philosophy to engage with Indigenous philosophy. Currently, I am working on my second manuscript, which aims to reconstruct precolonial Andean metaphysical and epistemological concepts by examining the Huarochiri Manuscript through a philosophical lens, as well as legal cases between the 16th and 18th centuries against Indigenous Andean people for the crime of idolatry.
