About me
I am Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at Rutgers. I came to Rutgers in the fall of 2018 after spending 11 years at Cornell. Before that, I was an assistant professor at Princeton as well as a post-doc at the Australian National University in Canberra. Before THAT, I received my Ph.D. from the University of Michigan under the direction of Steve Yablo, Jim Joyce, Alan Gibbard, and Mark Crimmins. Let's keep rewinding: I went to Oberlin College, attended a giant public high school in suburban Phoenix, and spent my childhood in the area of rural central Pennsylvania sometimes charmingly called 'Pennsyltucky'.
​
I live in Princeton with my husband, poet/critic David Orr, and our 7th grade daughter, who currently wants to be a classicist but would make an equally good screenwriter or assassin. We also share our home with this old grey cat, and mourn the recent loss of her friend Snoop.

Apparently I make odd faces when I give talks.
Upcoming conferences and whatnot
