I am the Director of the Master of Arts in Bioethics Program and Associate Professor at the Center for Ethics at Emory University.
Before my current position, I was a faculty fellow-in-residence at Harvard University's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Fordham University, and a Jane Eliza Procter graduate fellow at Princeton University. I completed my graduate studies at Oxford University (B.Phil and D.Phil) and my undergraduate studies at the Australian National University (BA and BSci).
I pursue single-authored theoretical research in moral philosophy and bioethics as well as collaborative interdisciplinary research. I am currently focused on two primary research projects. The first is on the fair, ethical and systematic distribution of benefits and risks, with a focus on distributing scarce healthcare goods such as critical care resources, donor organs, and drugs during drug shortages. The second is on how advances in bioethics and moral philosophy can be feasibly implemented to improve health policy, health outcomes, and clinical care. Combining these projects, I am active in both writing about and consulting on healthcare and public health policy. For example, I co-authored guidelines for the ethical allocation of scarce inpatient and outpatient resources for Emory Healthcare both during and before the COVID-19 pandemic. I also serve in an advisory capacity to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
I am also dedicated to high-quality education and mentorship, both at Emory and elsewhere. In 2019, founded the Graduate Bioethics Program Directors group, a subgroup of the Association of Bioethics Program Directors. I now co-chair that group with Lisa Parker from the University of Pittsburgh. With my Emory colleague, Joanna Young, I co-founded CUSP in 2021. CUSP, the Cross-Institutional Undergraduate Sponsorship Program in bioethics, is a multi-year, cross-institutional, funded, sponsorship and mentorship program in bioethics that is designed to promote representativeness in the next-generation of bioethicists. In addition to these cross-institutional initiatives, I have been recognized at Emory University by receiving the inaugural Outstanding Director of Graduate Studies award from the Laney Graduate School in 2022, and annual bioethics mentoring awards in the 2019-2020 and 2021-2022 academic years.
