I am Interim Executive Vice President and Provost and Commonwealth Professor in the Corcoran Department of Philosophy at the University of Virginia.  

My research centers on the philosophy of mind, especially self-knowledge, consciousness, mental content, and the self. I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses on these topics and on moral responsibility & free will.  Most recently, I’ve been working on three topics: whether our capacity for agency has important implications for self-knowledge; what's at issue in the debate between physicalists and dualists; and how we should draw the boundary between mind and world, given that our thought processes are increasingly scaffolded by "external" technology.
