I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. My research focuses on the ethics and moral psychology of resisting oppression. I am especially interested in the normative reasons that individuals have for (and against) resisting their oppression, what resistance entails for people who are differently situated, and how conditions of oppression shape what it means to live a good and meaningful life. My recent publications address a range of under-theorized resistance practices - including what I call Quiet Resistance and Imperfect Resistance - and the virtues that are displayed in individuals who engage in them - such as rebelliousness, audacity, and integrity. I enjoy teaching a variety of courses at UMN, including Ancient Greek philosophy (especially Plato), social-political philosophy, ethics, and feminist/antiracist philosophy.

I completed my Ph.D. in 2019 at UNC Chapel Hill and my B.A. at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon.  ​
