The focus of my research is moral epistemology. My primary interest is in using moral disagreement to consider how our epistemic access to morality is mediated. I am interested in such questions as:

·       Does genuine moral disagreement exist?

·       What (if any) is the significance of moral disagreement for the efficacy of reflective equilibrium in justifying our ethical convictions?

·       Could value pluralist moral realism be the source of moral disagreement?

·       How might transformative experience be a source of moral disagreement?

·       Can we justify our moral convictions to those with whom we disagree?

·       How (if at all) does moral disagreement affect the justifiability of making public reason an ideal?
