I'm a philosopher working on ethics, moral psychology, Kant, and the philosophy of sex & love. My current research focuses on the normativity of trust and consent within interpersonal relationships — you can learn more about my research here. I'm in my final year as a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Philosophy at Temple University. I recently completed my term as Chair of the APA's Graduate Student Council and am currently serving on the advisory committee for the APA's 2025-2030 Strategic Plan. In addition, I'm affiliated with several research projects and networks, including the Center for Positive Sexuality, the Sexual Ethics Circle, the Ethical Dating Online Network, and the Liberalism Rekindled Research Project. Before joining Temple, I earned undergraduate and master's degrees in Philosophy at The Hebrew University ofJerusalem. |
