About me
Drawing on both philosophical and empirical methods, my interdisciplinary research explores how people seek meaningfulness in life and at work.
My recent papers explore the following topics:
In a recent publication in the Journal of Business Ethics, I argue that work is only meaningful when it reflects our deepest commitments. These 'substantive commitments' are not discovered or imposed, but self-authored — an act of the will. By pursuing our substantive commitments in our work, whether to an occupation, a personal mission, or even a place, we make our work meaningful. EDUCATION
