Research

Main research projects

My first research program is in metaepistemology, i.e., metaphysical, semantic, psychological, and methodological questions about epistemic claims like attributions of knowledge, justification, and rationality. I am especially interested in the nature and status of epistemic normativity and the claim that epistemology is essentially normative. My work also explores how metaepistemology affects more traditional debates in epistemology and metaethics. This project started with my Ph.D. dissertation.

My other main research program is in applied and social epistemology. I am especially interested in the epistemology of the Web. As part of my work as a CEGEP teacher, I also got interested in the role that epistemology can play in day-to-day critical thinking.

More recently, I started a project in the philosophy of video games. I am especially interested in the value of video games and whether they can contribute substantially to a good life.
