About Me

I am an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy and Humanities at the University of Texas at Arlington. Outside the department, I am the Founder and Director of the open pedagogy project Make Philosophy.

My research is predominantly in medical ethics, with a focus on two areas: (1) organ donation, allocation, and transplantation, and (2) whole body donation and related issues in anatomical ethics. My work on the non-consented use of unclaimed bodies in Texas medical education helped effectively end the practice statewide in 2024.

When I'm not working, I like to do all sorts of things. I am also a Quaker.
