Areas of research

Our department is home to a vibrant and diverse community of researchers, working on a wide range of topics and issues. From ancient philosophy to modern ethical questions, our faculty members are at the forefront of their fields, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and making important contributions to the field of philosophy. We are also excited to announce a new addition to our team starting in July 2023, Dr. Laura Mae Lindo.

Philosophers in our department value engagement with scholars in other fields such as the natural and social sciences, history, mathematics, and engineering. Our interdisciplinary approach generates novel perspectives on philosophical problems and enriches our contributions to philosophical debate.
