About

I am a philosopher interested in the tense relationship between feminism and evolutionary psychology/feminist and evolutionary accounts of gender difference. I explored this topic in my book 'Who’s Afraid of Charles Darwin? Debating Feminism and Evolutionary Theory' (Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield, 2005). My current research focus is on feminist and evolutionary accounts of sexual violence.
