About

I am currently exploring the implications of certain robust findings in social, emotional, and cognitive psychology for aesthetic theory.

My hunch is that aestheticians have in large part underestimated the confusion, ambivalence, and indeterminateness of our aesthetic lives.  By studying acquired taste, affective ignorance, and hedonic adaptation, we can move toward a more complex aesthetic psychology.  Hopefully, too, we can provide a better account of how the norms of taste animate our aesthetic lives. 

Feel free to let me know what you think!
