Graduate Student; Ethics Discussion Group (EDGe) Organizer
About
Jason holds a B.A. in Philosophy & Sociology from the University of Oklahoma, and an M.A. in Philosophy from Georgia State University.
His work is in ethics, political philosophy, and philosophy of law. (In particular, he is focused on questions like punishment and its alternatives, moral repair, rights theory, and justice beyond the state.) Temperamentally, he enjoys discovering areas where ideas that first appear in conflict are actually mutually reinforcing.
Jason is also a 2023-2024 Adam Smith Fellow with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.
