Welcome

I'm Alexandra, an Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Teaching Stream at the University of Toronto. I am also the Director of Educational Programming for Being and Becoming: A Community for the Curious, a Toronto-based public philosophy non-profit.

I completed my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Toronto in 2024. I completed my MA at Brandeis University and my BA at The College of Wooster. While I primarily research love, I have additional interests in ethics and aesthetics, as well as a growing interest in the intersection of AI/computing ethics and the philosophy of disability. From 2020 to 2023 my research on love was funded by the Government of Canada through a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Canada Graduate Scholarship.
