Officially published! My paper “Caring for Valid Sexual Consent” is out in the new issue of Hypatia!
In this paper, I argue that consent, to be valid, requires trust, and in intimate contexts that trust is warranted through care.

Karl was a man of great kindness and intellectual generosity. Though I wasn't his student, he took time to engage with my paper that drew on his work on Kant’s "The End of All Things", offering supportive feedback that meant the world to me.
With deep sadness, the North American Kant Society announces the passing of Karl Ameriks, a leading Kant scholar, beloved colleague, and former member of the NAKS Board of Trustees.
NAKS extends heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and students.

The proper way to celebrate Kant’s birthday today is by taking an afternoon walk. Also getting drunk. He liked that too.
