Currently I am an Associate Professor in Philosophy at SMU. I came to SMU in 2002 after getting my Ph.D from Brown University under the excellent guidance of my co-chairs Jaegwon Kim and Ernest Sosa. My work is focused upon self-knowledge, subjectivity, and the philosophy of mind. I am currently finishing a book called “Subjective Physicalism,” which is under contract at Oxford University Press, which is an attempt to thread some of the needles in the consciousness debates.
In addition to my research, I am also in the process of writing a series of dialogues with my co-author Torin Alter that introduce students and others to the central topics in philosophy. The first in that series, A Dialogue on Consciousness, came out last winter from Oxford University Press, and the second, The God Dialogues, was published by Oxford in September 2010.
I also edit a couple of blogs, one with my Mindish colleagues at SMU, Brainpains, and another which consists mostly of music and book reviews, The Daily Sabbatical.
