At Princeton, he will continue to write about oppressive objects and spaces that extend, but also distort, our cognitive capacities, such as photographic technologies that bias how we see and medical devices that bias how we diagnose.

He also has research interests in imagination, experimental philosophy, aesthetics, and language.
