Writer, Editor, and Researcher - Philosophy, Political Science, Humanities

Profile Summary

I have been a professional writer, editor, philosopher, and lecturer for over 20 years, producing content in philosophy, politics, government, history, religion, social ethics, and business. In addition to my own published works, I have assisted authors in multiple fields as a researcher, technical editor, and ghost writer. As a writer/editor I work on projects ranging from short Web articles to large books. If you need a project from scratch, I can ghostwrite an entire work. Or, I can work with you as your personal editor, assisting you with research, fact checking, proofing, editing, and other pre-publication tasks. In my own research in philosophy and social ethics, I explore how recognition theory and phenomenology can help us understand personhood, identity, injustice, social conflict, and social justice.
