Memory, intention, and movements of the mind

open access: yesMind &Language, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 439-446, June 2026.
This is a response to a discussion of two chapters of my recent book, Movements of the mind, that focus on the relation between intention and working memory. I argue that intention is a type of practical memory for action and that its properties are illuminated by drawing on empirical research on working memory.

open access: yesThe Southern Journal of Philosophy, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 501-516, December 2025.
Abstract The question of what exactly is irrational about recalcitrant emotions—those that occur in tension or conflict with our beliefs—has been widely debated.

We conducted a systematic review of health outcomes associated with seven biodiversity‐supporting elements, including ...

Abstract Heat is a central concern for many cities whose efforts for adaptation tend to reproduce inequities.

Moderate Structural Exploitation

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 1454-1475, November 2025.
ABSTRACT We consider the apparent inability of theories of exploitation to capture common intuitions about structural exploitation. For example, it seems that consumers participate in the exploitation of sweatshop workers, but there is no direct transaction between the parties. This poses a problem for transactional accounts of exploitation.
