She researches and teaches in theoretical and practical ethics with particular interests in moral justification, philosophical methodology, feminist moral philosophy, and practical ethical issues related to violence, spirituality, gender, and sexuality. She was recently awarded a grant from the Templeton Foundation for a collaborative project investigating spiritual and moral healing in the aftermath of spiritual violence. Other research projects include a co-authored manuscript (in progress) that defends a case-study methodology for moral epistemology, and several articles exploring the nature and moral significance of spiritual violence.
