Departmental Service
PGSA
I was the President of the UConn Philosophy Graduate Student Association (PGSA) for two academic years (AY 2014-16). As President of the PGSA, I had two general aims: firstly, to provide a constructive environment for graduates to share research with one another, and secondly, to help foster a good climate for graduate student social lives.
As President, I co-organised (with Hanna Gunn) several events, including two external graduate conferences and four internal graduate conferences for UConn students to share their work. I also secured funding for and founded the PGSA Interdisciplinary Public Lecture, which brings a distinguished philosopher to UConn to speak on a topic of broad interest to graduates from all across UConn, in order to strengthen ties between philosophy and other departments and disciplines.
UConn Wittgenstein Group
I co-founded the UConn Wittgenstein Group (UCW) with Andrew Parisi, which meets weekly during the semester to read and discuss a new Wittgenstein reading each semester. We are currently doing a section-by-section read of Philosophical Investigations; in AY 2015-16 we successfully made it to §109. In past semesters, we have read Lectures on the Foundations of Mathematics, Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics, The Big Typescript and Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.
