I am a professor of philosophy at the University of Rochester. I work mostly in philosophy of language. I have written papers on non-referring names, indexicals, attitude ascriptions, and questions and answers. I regularly teach courses in philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, logic, and introduction to philosophy.
