I am a Bioethicist at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences. I am also a Research Associate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Pretoria.
Prior to this I was a Clinical Ethics Fellow at the Center for Clinical Ethics which is housed at Unity Health Toronto. From 2021 to 2025, I was a faculty member at LCC International University in Lithuania.
This website is hosts my academic work, which usually falls into ethics, broadly construed. Much of it is located at the intersection of the African and Anglo-American philosophical traditions or focuses on the nature of clinical ethics consultations.
I am currently working two books. African Bioethics: Applications to Abortion and Euthanasia is under contract with Routlege. Clinical Ethics Consultation and Bioethical Disagreement is under contract with Palgrave Macmillan.
