Hi, I'm Austen! I'm a philosophy Ph.D candidate working primarily on the philosophy of language and philosophy of logic. My dissertation focuses on vagueness, how we theorize about it, and what role it plays in our cognitive and communicative processes. Beyond that my interests are pretty eclectic and I have works-in-progress on physicalism,  thought-experiments, and the nature of logic.

When I'm not doing philosophy I'm probably reading a novel, watching a baseball game, or eating ice cream.
