Public Engagement
Media
Philosophy doesn't do its job if it can't be talked about in public. I engage beyond the academic paper through commentary, podcasts, public philosophy events, and online writing — including work on the politics and ethics of social media as a site of justice and harm.
Platforms as Public Health
A significant strand of my work examines social media platforms as sites of epistemic injustice and public health harm. I argue that content moderation failures — the arbitrary suspension of trans voices, algorithmic amplification of anti-LGBTQ+ content, and platforms' retreat from protecting marginalized users — are not mere policy disagreements but constitute real-world violence with measurable health consequences.
