Emily Bingeman

My background is in feminist epistemology, bioethics, and philosophy of science. My dissertation focused on concepts of epistemic responsibility informed by feminist epistemology, disability theory, and addiction studies. My current projects focus on the risks of praise in our moral and epistemic practices. For example, I’m interested in the ways in which praise can be used to uphold and enforce problematic social norms, and can contribute to broader patterns of unfair distributions of positive evaluative attitudes (epistemic and moral). I am also interested in ecological concepts of ability and responsibility across epistemic, moral and political discourse

His work focuses on issues in the Philosophy of Mind, the Philosophy of Action, and the Philosophy of Psychology.
