(Ph.D., Rutgers). His research focuses on the ways that problems from moral philosophy and philosophy of mind press on modern literature and critical practice. His interests also include British and Irish fiction and drama since 1900, the history of criticism, and queer theory. Recent publications include his book Behaviorism, Consciousness, and the Literary Mind (Johns Hopkins, 2021) and the article “Derek Jarman and Everything That is the Case” (Critical Inquiry, Summer 2022). He is currently working on a book about comparisons between moral and aesthetic value, tentatively titled Beautiful Errors: Moral Philosophy, Modern Fiction, and the Appeal to Aesthetics.
