I am a Fellow in Clinical, Organizational, and Research Ethics at the Center for Clinical Ethics which is housed at Unity Health Toronto. I am also an Academic Fellow in the the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto, and a Research Associate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Pretoria

​My research is often located at the intersection of the African and Anglo-American philosophical traditions and tends to address axiological or ethical questions. Right now I am particularly interested in philosophical questions about the nature of clinical ethics consultations. I am also working on a monograph examining the ethics of abortion and euthanasia from within the African philosophical tradition. 

 

My sixth monograph, African Philosophy of Religion and Western Monotheism (with Motsamai Molefe and Thaddeus Metz) is out with Cambridge University Press.

 

My seventh monograph , A Moral Theory of Liveliness: A Secular Interpretation of African Life Force is also now out with Oxford University Press.
