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.
