Research
In 2008 I published
I Was Wrong: The Meanings of Apologies with Cambridge
University Press. I Was Wrong provides a nuanced framework
for the ethical meanings of apologies from individuals and
collectives, considering along the way the historical and cultural
traditions that inform modern acts of contrition. I have been very
fortunate to discuss I Was Wrong on NPR (an hour-long
interview with Diane Rehm), CNN, BBC, CBC, Philosophy Talk, and
various other national and international programs. See below for
links to these interviews.
I am currently working on the follow-up
book, tentatively titled Apologies in Law and also under
contract with Cambridge University Press. Apologies in Law
will apply the framework for the ethical meanings of apologies from
I Was Wrong to acts of contrition in civil and criminal law.
Apologies Advising
In conjunction with my academic writings
on apologies, I serve as an "apology advisor" or "apology
consultant" to various individuals and groups.
