My work deals with collective intentions, collective actions, the ontological status of collective agents, the epistemology of the collective, what collectives can tell us about individuals, and problems concerning collective freedom and collective responsibility. 

While I work on all things collective, I am especially interested in exploring the relevance of collective action to problems concerning individual action, intention, freedom and so forth.  Thus, much of my current work attempts to invert the explanatory relation from the collective to the individual.

I am a currently on a one year research leave from the University of of Missouri-Columbia and a two year summer fellowship with the National Humanities Center in Action Theory.  At the end of y research leave, I will have a complete draft of a co-authored (with Zachary Ernst) manuscript on the epistemology of collective action.

For those interested, please see my complete cv.
