My research draws on continental philosophy, modern Jewish thought, and religious studies. I am interested in the construction of subjectivity and intersubjectivity and the conceptualization of the metaphysical in a selection of figures, including Mordecai Kaplan, Edmund Husserl, Martin Buber, and Emmanuel Levinas.
