My work is centered around ethics and epistemology, especially the idea of epistemic injustice. In what ways is it morally problematic to not take other people seriously? What methods are effective at reducing the impact of prejudice on members of marginalized groups during interpersonal exchanges? I have a PhD from the Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology program at Washington University in St. Louis. In addition to epistemic injustice, I do work related to bioethics, social epistemology, and moral psychology.
New technologies and ambiguous business situations can complicate ethical judgment by introducing uncertainty, incomplete information, and competing priorities. This course equips participants to evaluate ethical issues that arise when the effects of emerging technologies are not yet fully known. Participants will assess ethical risks, compare approaches for making decisions under uncertainty, and evaluate how personal and professional values influence judgment in unfamiliar situations. The course also addresses practical methods for communicating ethical positions clearly and professionally when facts are still developing. Through analysis of emerging technology scenarios and guided reflection, participants will produce a personal decision-making resource that supports consistent ethical judgment in future practice.
