I am Associate Professor of Philosophy at Hunter College and the CUNY Graduate Center. I have also co-organized the The New York Philosophy of Language Workshop since it began in 2011.
Most of my work is about what's happening in our minds when we communicate—for example, how our psychological capacities for planning, mindreading, and language come together to allow us to customize what and how we communicate for our interlocutors, to organize our conversations together with them, and to interpret their context-sensitive and non-literal communicative acts. This involves lots of philosophy of language and mind, and also interdisciplinary collaboration with linguists and cognitive scientists. I also write about the history of these topics.
