J. L. A. Donohue is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Arkansas. Her research interests include moral, social, and political philosophy, especially moral complicity and interpersonal deliberative obligations. She is also also interested in ethics and technology, medical ethics, feminist epistemology, and issues of justice wherever they arise and has a particular research interest in understanding communication and respect across political and moral disagreement.
Sukaina HIrji
Sukaina Hirji is an Associate Professor in the Philosophy department at the University of Pennsylvania. She works in both moral and political philosophy, and ancient Greek philosophy. She is currently working on two book length projects, one on Aristotle exploring the conditions under which we are able to fully express our agency, and one with Lidal Dror on ideology and its relevance for thinking about a range of urgent political questions including protest, civil discourse, deference politics, and abolition.
Anne Jeffrey
Anne Jeffrey is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Baylor University and Research Scholar at Baylor College of Medicine. She specializes in metaethics, normative ethics, political philosophy, and moral psychology. Recently, she has been writing about habits thought to contribute to repair in conflict - like love of enemy, patience, and forgiveness, and wondering when calls for these habits function to preserve hegemonic social and political structures, and whether any version of these virtues could be repurposed for more just coalition building.
Affiliated Graduate Fellows
Shawn Hernandez
Shawn is a fifth-year PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania thinking working in metaethics and normative ethics. His current research is on love, respect, and what they have to do with one another: he argues that the apparent tension between them dissolves once we rethink respect from the ground up, and that doing so reveals what's distinctive about love's role in creating lives that are at once moral and yet distinctly our own.
Jenny Yi-Chen Wu
Jenny Yi-Chen Wu is a PhD candidate in Philosophy at UCLA. Her research investigates vulnerability and adversariality across a variety of socially salient domains. Topics she is currently thinking about include survivor guilt, gaslighting, and epistemic intrusion. She is particularly interested in expanding the notion of hacking beyond computational systems and showing how a wide range of socially salient systems, such as legal systems and epistemic rationality, can also be hacked. In the long run, she aims to show that many seemingly disparate domains face surprisingly similar structural challenges.
