​I'm a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.

My most recent book Think Like a Feminist: The Philosophy Behind the Revolution (W.W. Norton & Co., 2020, 2022) has been called "a crisp, well-informed primer on feminist theory" by Publisher's Weekly and "a winning mix of scholarship and irreverence" by Kirkus Reviews.  
​
My academic work focuses primarily on issues in analytic feminism, liberal social and political philosophy, oppression studies, Kantian ethics, and the philosophy of sex and love.  ​

My 2013 book Kantianism, Liberalism, & Feminism: Resisting Oppression received the American Philosophical Association's Gregory Kavka/UCI Prize in Political Philosophy.  My 2019 op-ed "
Who Counts as a Woman?" received the American Philosophical Association's Public Philosophy Op-Ed Prize.​

My public philosophy has appeared in venues such as the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Aeon magazine, and IAI News.
​
I grew up in small-town Saskatchewan, Canada and was a first-generation university student.  I now split my time between Boston and San Francisco with my sweet cat Dinah and even sweeter daughter Becca.
