I have a new paper out on envy and stability. The thesis is that envy is a serious problem, and we ought to pay more attention to cultural practices as ways of mitigating it.

We are thrilled that the UB PPE program has been designated a Hidden Gem by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (@goACTA)! Thank you to our amazing director, Ryan Muldoon, and to all of you who build up the program every day. Onwards and upwards!

Are you interested in a career in law, the social sciences, politics, or business but seeking an interdisciplinary approach? The Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Program (PPE) at the University of Buffalo @UBuffalo is just such a program that trains students to identify just, real-world solutions for society.

Students at this new Hidden Gem integrate the nuance and rigor of philosophy with the empirical results of the social sciences and are equipped to apply these methods to societal questions on the local, national, and global levels.
