My forthcoming book develops interdisciplinary approaches to disaster preparedness and response. My first book examines Immanuel Kant's account of labor, and develops an intersectional approach to reading Kant. I also examine the intersection of contemporary epistemology, Kantian philosophy, and the philosophy of sexuality, engaging questions around consent, pleasure, power, and bodily autonomy. All of my research examines the relationships between Enlightenment philosophy and contemporary decolonial projects, with an emphasis on constructions of gender, sexuality, domestic labor, and the family. I am committed to approaching philosophical questions from below, in non-ideal circumstances like disasters, decolonial struggles, and discriminatory law. These questions are built into the classes I teach at Manhattan College.
