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 developing a view called “Subjective Physicalism” 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, should be coming out from Oxford at the end of 2009.
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.
During the fall of 2009 I will be on leave from SMU and will be a visiting scholar at NYU.
