OVERVIEW
Welcome to my webpage. I have been a professor in the philosophy department at ASU since the fall of 2006. In that year I also earned a doctorate in
philosophy from Rutgers University. In addition, I have a bachelor's degree in
Mathematics from Tufts University. My main research is in the philosophy of language and related areas. This basically involves
investigating how language can be used to express thoughts and to represent the world. I also have interests in the phenomenon of vagueness, epistemology and
meta-philosophy.
