I work mainly on feminist philosophy and, in particular, on feminist metaphysics and feminist engagements with pornography. Additionally, I have research interests in social ontology, broadly conceived, and I am a co-editor of the Open Access Journal of Social Ontology ( https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/jso). My recent monograph, The Wrong of Injustice: Dehumanization and its Role in Feminist Philosophy (OUP, 2016), dealt with feminist philosophy and social injustice. I am currently working on a book titled Pornography: A Philosophical Introduction (under contract with OUP).
