I am Professor of Philosophy and Healthcare Ethics at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (officially known as MCPHS University) in Boston. As Chair of the Institutional Review Board at MCPHS, I am responsible for our human subjects protections program, and coordinate review of human subjects research protocols across the three campuses of the University,
I am also affiliated with the Boston University Department of Philosophy, where I have been a Visiting Researcher and advised an MA thesis, and where I teach summer courses. In Spring 2016, I was a Visiting Scholar at the Neuroethics Research Unit of the Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montreal, pursuing work on autism and moral responsibility. In the first half of 2017, I continued this work at the Gothenburg Responsibility Project of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. My work in Sweden was made possible by a sabbatical award from MCPHS and generous support from the Miriam Foundation of Montreal.
I have held faculty appointments at Kalamazoo College and Bryn Mawr College. I have also been affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania Center for Bioethics and the Interactivity Foundation, a public policy think tank.
At MCPHS I teach philosophy and bioethics to students taking degrees such as a doctor of pharmacy (PharmD), a master’s degree in physician assistant studies, or a BS in health psychology.
