Hi. I'm an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of San Diego, and a co-director of USD's Institute for Law and Philosophy.

My research interests are generally in the intersection of ethics, law, and economics, with two specific areas of focus. The first involves the proper understanding and normative status of liberty and political libertarianism.  The second has to do with the nature and moral significance of exploitation for individual ethics and political institutions.

My textbook, Arguing About Political Philosophy, is due out with Routledge in January, 2009 - just in time for your Spring courses! You can find more information about the book along with a full table of contents on the publisher's website.

This Fall,I am teaching Philosophy of Law and Ethics. In the Spring, I will be teaching Political Philosophy and Business Ethics.
