My interests are in the history of philosophy,
specifically continental philosophy in the 19th and 20th
Centuries. I specialize in Kierkegaard, as well as the
fields on which he had broad impact, namely
existentialism and phenomenology. In this latter
context the ethics of Emmanuel Levinas is of special
interest to me. I am particularly intrigued by
questions of performance, interaction, language and
intentionality - all of which I am most fond of
contemplating in reference to humor, comedy and benign
deception. I acted for over 10 years as a commissioning
editor for the Toronto-based, annual publication
Alphabet City (co-published with MIT Press). I am a
member of the Levinas Research Seminar and act as
program co-ordinator for Continental Philosophy in a
Jewish Context, an affiliated society of the Society for
Phenomenological and Existential Philosophy. I am a
contributing author to Kierkegaard Research: Sources,
Reception and Resources and have recently presented at
the Center for Kierkegaard Research at the University of
Copenhagen. I have several research works in progress,
including a volume on comedy and ethics, and a project
on the theatrical sources of Kierkegaard's philosophy.
In addition to my academic writing I have considerable
miscellaneous writing projects, including graphic
novels, plays, short humor, not to mention writing and
production for short films. If you want me to be
funnier than I am in this paragraph, you'll have to
visit me in person.
