Research Areas

Philosophy, Ethics, and Clinical Ethics

1) Ethics, Epistemology, and Philosophy of Mind

I propose a reorientation of ethical and epistemological inquiry through a focused analysis of listening. By exploring the role of listening in human interaction, I have offered relational accounts of freedom, agency, and responsibility that are at once moral and epistemic.

2) Care Ethics and Clinical Ethics

I advance care ethics by elucidating the temporal dynamics of human interaction. My research underscores the crucial role of temporal care in fostering shared decision-making, both within and beyond clinical settings.
