I
am Arthur
F. Thurnau Professor, John Dewey Distinguished University Professor
of
Philosophy and Women's & Gender Studies, and Max Shaye
Professor of Public Philosophy. I teach courses in ethics,
social
and political philosophy, political economy, philosophy
of the social sciences, and
feminist theory. My research focuses on
democratic theory, equality in political philosophy and American law,
racial integration,
the ethical limits of markets, the philosophy of work, theories of
value and rational choice
(alternatives to consequentialism and economic theories of
rational choice), pragmatism,
social epistemology, and feminist epistemology and philosophy of
science. I am
currently working on the history of egalitarianism and challenges to
creating a society of equals. I designed and was the
first Director of the Program
in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.
