Hi, I'm Austen! I'm a philosophy Ph.D. candidate at Stanford, 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 AI, physicalism,  and thought-experiments.

When I'm not doing philosophy I'm probably watching a baseball game, fiddling with a camera, or eating ice cream.
