When Nothing Looks Blue, with Joseph Gottlieb. 2020. Synthese 199(1–2):2553–2561. [abstract] [published version]
This paper discusses property representationalism and visual experience, focusing on cases in which nothing looks blue. It responds to worries about reductive representationalism and clarifies what such views should say about phenomenal character and perceptual representation.

Singular Experience. 2024. Australasian Journal of Philosophy 102(2):389–406. [abstract] [published version]
Almost every visual experience presents a unified state of affairs and one or more particular things. This paper argues that understanding visual experience as having singular propositional content explains these features better than several rival views. It also defends the surprising consequence that there are no visual hallucinations in the traditional sense.
