I am a philosopher and a lawyer specializing in criminal justice, legal studies, philosophy of law (primarily criminal law and procedure), applied ethics, and social and political philosophy. I also explore these topics in film, music, and literature. Recently I’ve been writing about the religious philosophy of my favorite science fiction author, Philip K. Dick.
I am associate professor in the Department of Criminal Justice at California State University, Stanislaus, where I work within the concentration in Criminal Legal Studies. I am also the director of the minor in pre law, coordinator of the Pre-Law Resource Center, and one of the campus pre-law advisers.
Chris Turner and I edited a book on Werner Herzog and philosophy. It is available from Lexington Books. I designed the cover based on a photograph by Lena Herzog.
