I am Usha. I am part-time faculty at NYU. I received my PhD in philosophy from Columbia University. Before Philosophy, I completed a master’s in English and a Bachelor’s degree in engineering at the National University of Singapore.

My research lies in the intersection of ethics, psychology, and, ancient philosophy. I think moral agency is constrained by our emotional dispositions and our imagination. You can find more about my research here.

Besides teaching and writing philosophical articles, I sing, attempt Indian cooking, and take long walks with my doe-headed, horse-souled dog, Bernie.
