I am Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, and a member of the New York Institute of Philosophy's Project on New Directions in Political Philosophy.

My B.A. (1994) is from Williams, my M.A. (1996) is from Oxford, and my Ph.D. (2003) is from Berkeley. Before returning to Berkeley as Assistant Professor in 2005, I was Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Harvard University and Research Associate at the Research School of Social Sciences of the Australian National University.

My main interests lie in moral and political philosophy.

The other goofballs in the picture are Colette and Eddie Kolodny. (Which institutions of higher learning are they advertising? Guess correctly, and I will send you a disappointing prize.) My wife, Jessica Cross, is behind the camera.

Here's a Bloggingheads diavlog between Simon Keller (Victoria University of Wellington) and me.

My hobbies.

Looking for a lawyer? You have the wrong Kolodny. For Israeli real estate. For Hollywood divorces.
