54Are Natural and Unnatural Appetites Equally Controllable? A Response to Jensen's “Is Continence Enough?”Christian Bioethics 10 (2-3): 177-188. 2004.This response challenges Jensen's analysis in no substantial way. Rather, it explains more fully some of the moral character categories that Aristotle provides. It argues that Aristotle understood there to be two forms of continence: the continence that enables us to control natural appetites and “some form” of continence directed towards unnatural appetites, generally engendered by some pathology or abuse.

7The Treatment of Boredom in Heidegger and Insomnia in LevinasIn Calley A. Hornbuckle, Jadwiga S. Smith & William S. Smith (eds.), Posthumanism and Phenomenology: The Focus on the Modern Condition of Boredom, Solitude, Loneliness and Isolation, Springer Verlag. pp. 3-10. 2022.Historical temporality of the concept of boredom is counter to Heidegger’s treatment of boredom as essential to his philosophical investigation of temporality/time but without the grounding of boredom in historical or cultural milieu or, for that matter, in psychology or neuroscience. A mood (Stimmung) of boredom does not have a direct intentional object of its own, but it can accompany emotional and/or cognitive experiences by giving them a certain coloring or tonality. Heidegger’s final statem…Read more

10Posthumanism and Phenomenology: The Focus on the Modern Condition of Boredom, Solitude, Loneliness and Isolation (edited book)Springer Verlag. 2022.This volume investigates the intersection of phenomenology and posthumanism by rethinking the human and nonhuman specifically with regard to boredom, isolation, loneliness, and solitude. By closely examining these concepts from phenomenological, philosophical, and literary perspectives, this diverse collection of essays offers insights into the human and nonhuman in the absence of the Other and within the postapocalyptic. Topics of interest include modalities of presence and absence with regard …Read more

9The Reproducibility Movement in Psychology: Does Researcher Gender Affect How People Perceive Scientists With a Failed Replication?Frontiers in Psychology 13. 2022.The reproducibility movement in psychology has resulted in numerous highly publicized instances of replication failures. The goal of the present work was to investigate people’s reactions to a psychology replication failure vs. success, and to test whether a failure elicits harsher reactions when the researcher is a woman vs. a man. We examined these questions in a pre-registered experiment with a working adult sample, a conceptual replication of that experiment with a student sample, and an ana…Read more

4“Broad” Impact: Perceptions of Sex/Gender-Related Psychology JournalsFrontiers in Psychology 13. 2022.Because men are overrepresented within positions of power, men are perceived as the default in academia. Androcentric bias emerges whereby research by men and/or dominated by men is perceived as higher quality and gains more attention. We examined if these androcentric biases materialize within fields that study bias. How do individuals in close contact with psychology view psychology research outlets with titles including the words women, gender, sex, or feminism or contain the words men or mas…Read more

17Phenomenology of the Object and Human Positioning: Human, Non-Human and Posthuman (edited book)Springer Verlag. 2021.This edited volume explores the intersections of the human, nonhuman, transhuman, and posthuman from a phenomenological perspective. Representing perspectives from several disciplines, these investigations take a closer look at the relationship between the phenomenology of life, creative ontopoiesis, and otherness; technology and the human; art and the question of humanity; nonhumans, animals, and intentionality; and transhumanism. Ontological positioning of the human is reconsidered with regard…Read more

14Epistemological Dominance and Social Inequality: Experiences of Native American Science, Engineering, and Health StudentsScience, Technology, and Human Values 42 (5): 743-774. 2017.Can epistemologies anchor processes of social inequality? In this paper, we consider how epistemological dominance in science, engineering, and health fields perpetuates disadvantages for students who enter higher education with alternative epistemologies. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Native American students enrolled at two US research universities who adhere to or revere indigenous epistemologies, we find that epistemological dominance in SE&H degree programs disadvantages students thro…Read more

237Can Transcendental Intersubjectivity be Naturalised?Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences 10 (1): 91-111. 2011.I discuss Husserl’s account of intersubjectivity in the fifth Cartesian Meditation. I focus on the problem of perceived similarity. I argue that recent work in developmental psychology and neuroscience, concerning intermodal representation and the mirror neuron system, fails to constitute a naturalistic solution to the problem. This can be seen via a comparison between the Husserlian project on the one hand and Molyneux’s Question on the other

Novel Epistemologies: Cultures of Reform in the Age of LockeDissertation, Carnegie Mellon University. 2003.My dissertation, "Novel Epistemologies: Cultures of Reform in the Age of Locke," attempts to shift the understanding of what Lockean epistemology contributed to eighteenth-century projects of reform. Thinkers prior to Locke tend to view customary, political, and other forms of culture as forces prone to taint human knowledge and agency. Although he somewhat shares their suspicion, Locke suggests engaging with culture as an object of reform and transforming cultural memory. According to him, if t…Read more
