I currently direct the Partnering Lab, an applied research initiative that investigates embodied ethics across domains of practice. I draw on my backgrounds in social epistemology, performance philosophy, and cognitive science to examines how partners negotiate shared action through codified and improvisational movement practices. I study basic elements of physical interaction, including touch, gaze, gesture, relative position, orientation, and proximity, in relation to underlying ethics such as consent, care, trust, tenderness, and discretionary power.  I consider different methods of evaluation, including from within practice (by partners themselves) and outside of their practice (by educators, therapists, coaches, etc.). Some of this work looks at mediated interaction, with wearable sensors and artificial (robot, a.i.) agents.​
