I'm an epistemologist who sometimes works at the borders of the philosophy of language and the philosophy of religion. I've been lucky to work with some fantastic co-authors, whom you can find below. While my interests in epistemology are broad, my work has often returned to epistemic norms governing questions (or inquiring attitudes) and assertions.
