I’m Alex.

I’m an ethics educator, a digital strategist and experience designer, and a political philosopher.

I am Associate Director for Content Strategy and Engagement at the Prindle Institute for Ethics at DePauw University. There, I direct the Institute’s digital strategy, encompassing various platforms, services, and experiences, as well as leading national engagement initiatives and partnerships. I also teach in the Department of Philosophy at DePauw.

I serve on the Board of Directors of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics, and as Chair of the American Philosophical Association's Committee on Pre-College Philosophy. I also sit on the APPE Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl Council and Steering Committee and the National High School Ethics Bowl Advisory Board. In my local community, I serve on the Board of Directors of IndyPride.

Working at the intersections of ethics, political philosophy, and the philosophy of education, I consider myself a teacher at heart, and an advocate for public and pre-college philosophy pedagogy. My research interests are varied, but as of late I am thinking and writing about issues in democratic civic education and the development of moral and intellectual virtues, among other topics. I received my Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2021, where I taught for many years and wrote a dissertation on the virtue of civility and its role in the non-ideal politics of democratic societies.
