About me
My philosophy research involves developing new solutions to problems in bioethics, the history of ethics, philosophical psychology and neuropsychology, comparative philosophy, modern European philosophy, social & political philosophy, aesthetics, and literature. I have published a range of articles on bioethics, ethics, science, and the history of philosophy.
My research on education and student learning focuses on critical thinking and metacognition. My work in these areas focuses on student acquisition of key skills in critical thinking, including critical analysis skills such as identifying and evaluating arguments, critical reading, exposing fallacies, and exercising moral imagination. I am especially interested in critical thinking in the contexts of students' reading and writing development and in their collaborative work.
