DANIEL WODAK

I'm an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Virginia Tech, where I'm also affiliated with the PPE and ASPECT programs. I work in ethics, metaethics, and philosophy of law. I completed my PhD in Philosophy at Princeton in 2016.

I work broadly in ethics (especially metaethics), philosophy of law, social and political philosophy, and philosophy of language. I'm especially interested in a range of issues at the intersection of these areas.
