My work is at the intersections of social philosophy, epistemology, and the philosophy of race and gender, and focuses on theorizing oppression from a critical theoretical perspective. I argue that causal explanations of oppression must be social structural, and develop a pluralistic conception of social structure that encompasses both institutions and ideology. An important part of this view is that insofar as individual beliefs, attitudes, or biases play a role in explaining oppression, it is only as constituents of social structure. I apply this social structural framework to the notion to oppressive ignorance, or ignorance that is both promoted by and helps sustain oppression.
Currently, I am working on developing an account of a particular form of oppressive ignorance that I call obliviousness, while also showing how my account of oppression and social structure can help us to answer longstanding questions about intersectionality.
