Area of Interest: Contemporary social, moral and political philosophy, usually from a feminist perspective. In recent years, I've been especially interested in moral epistemology, specifically methods of practical reasoning in non-ideal circumstances. I've also been working in democratic theory and global justice theory.
Current Research: Forthcoming books include: Just Methodologies: An Interdisciplinary Feminist Reader, Boulder, CO: Paradigm Press, 2006; Abortion: Three Perspectives, with Michael Tooley, Philip E. Devine and Celia Wolf-Devine, Oxford University Press, 2007; and Sex, Truth and Power: A Feminist Theory of Moral Reason.
