I have been a Tutor in PSYC 375 (The History of Psychology) at Athabasca University since 2007. I enjoy working for a University that values open learning and innovative course delivery. Research-wise, I work mainly in the area of philosophy of mind at the interface of cognitive psychology. In my Ph.D. dissertation I developed a cognitive theory of empathy. I continue to be interested in the topics of mental state ascription, mental representation, and critical thinking. I am also Adjunct Professor at the University of Victoria.
