Book Projects:
I am in the very early phases of two book projects. One will explore Merleau-Ponty's reference, in the Visible and the Invisible, to a "transcendental geology," reading this phrase as expressive of a philosophical method and a philosophical ontology. The second, intended for undergraduate philosophy students, is a guide to philosophical writing.
Works in Progress:
I am currently working on two essays for completion in 2026–2027
A paper on the Indigenous philosopher V.F. Cordova's philosophical methodology, to be published in an edited collection celebrating the 25th anniversary of the publication of Cordova's landmark How It Is. This chapter explores some of the distinctive features of Native American philosophy, with particular emphasis on "hermeneutic tolerance" as a philosophical ideal.
A re-reading of the philosopher Josiah Royce's account of the California mining camps, working within the framework of critical geology. This paper will be presented as part of the "California Ideology Project"—an interdisciplinary research group—at the Radical Philosophy Association.
