My research is focused on developing models of feminist agency that enable political participation. I am especially interested in identity formation, care ethics, communication and communicability, and interrogating the boundaries of the political. My area of expertise is feminist philosophy, but I am also interested in critical theory, ancient political thought, contemporary political theory, pragmatism, and human rights.
