I am an associate professor of philosophy at UCR. I write about the role of emotions and attitudes in our moral and public lives. My books include The Case for Rage, Failures of Forgiveness, and the forthcoming book, How To Love.  

I have written for the Los Angeles Times, the Atlantic, Salon, and New Philosophers Magazine, and my work has been featured in the New Yorker, Essence Magazine, and Publisher’s Weekly.

I am also the Director of the Emotion and Society Lab, and I host the UnMute Podcast (now in its 10th year), where I interview philosophers about the social and political issues of our day.
