Avery Kolers

I am Professor and Head of Philosophy at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. My research has mostly been on issues surrounding territorial rights and solidarity. These highly applied issues touch on a wide range of problems, but also raise hard questions about how to navigate deep diversity in a shared world. More recently I've been researching the philosophy of sports and games, in order to better understand ethical behavior as embodied skill, and to articulate the kinds of sociability made possible by games, and the prospects for incorporating this sociability into everyday life. I am co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of Applied Philosophy and I serve on the editorial board of Political Philosophy.
