About the Author
I am an anti-professional philosopher and professional downshifter.
I work for Ohio State University as the Center Associate for the Center for Ethics and Human Values (CEHV).
As I am keen to point out, I am a philosopher but “not that kind of philosopher” (i.e. not an ethicist). I once completed a PhD thesis in the philosophy of language, because I thought it would be a fun thing to do. It was! True to my spirit as an anticareerist (apparently a term that I coined), however, I never sought a career as a professional philosopher, choosing instead the world of flexible, remote, administrative-focused work. I freelanced for a while, lived as a digital nomad for a while, but eventually ended up back with my colleagues at Ohio State when they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse…
Oh, I don’t have kids or pets or anything like that, but I do have a plush heron and ammonite.
