Biography

I teach philosophy at Wellesley College, where I write about the nature and value of memoir and the question of what makes a life meaningful. I’m also working on a memoir about philosophy and a book about the metaphysical and ethical issues raised by twins (I am one). Alongside my academic work, I write personal essays, humor pieces and public philosophy.

Their house was perched on a very steep hill overlooking Tapu te Ranga.

My identical twin, Julia, and I recently went to an art gallery talk about Diane Arbus’ famous photograph, Identical Twins, Roselle, N.J. The original 1967 print was there on the wall: a pair of matching young girls, dressed in black dresses with stiff white collars, eyeballed us from just over the curator’s shoulder.
