My interests focus primarily on pharmaceutical drugs and other issues in medicine and medical ethics including side effects and their discovery or 'pharmacovigilance,' research-practice overlaps, regulation, nocebo effects, patient participation, empowerment, decision-making, and private industry influence. I'm also interested in the social epistemic implications of public participation in science more generally, as well as questions around technology regulation in agriculture. I am currently a Professor of Practice in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at East Tennessee State University. Contact: [email protected].
