She primarily works on the philosophy of language, including formal semantics, pragmatics, and feminist philosophy of language; philosophical logic; and metaethics. Her interest lies especially in the dynamic and dual nature of language in our normative reasoning, deontic puzzles, speech acts, and various arguments using Moral Twin Earth thought experiments and the notion of disagreement. She is also interested in problems in feminist philosophy of language. Currently, she is working on silencing, discursive inability, and pathological conversation patterns such as hepeating.
