    Black Panther and philosophy: what can Wakanda offer the world? (edited book)
    with Edwardo Pérez
    Wiley. 2022.
    When the character of Black Panther first appeared in Fantastic Four no. 52 in July 1966, legendary creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby didn't just write a story about another hero with extraordinary powers, they birthed the first Black superhero. For Lee, "it was a very normal thing," because "A good many of our people here in America are not white. You've got to recognize that and you've got to include them whatever you do." While it might've seemed normal to Lee, Black Panther's (and Wakanda's) …Read more

    When Tech Meets Tradition
    In Edwardo Pérez & Timothy E. Brown (eds.), Black Panther and Philosophy, Wiley. 2022.
    Black Panther, even with the deep problems in how it represents Black American men, grapples with messy histories directly, in plain sight of white audiences. The motivations and struggles of the characters Shuri and Erik "Killmonger" Stevens, in particular, show us how Black Panther's blend of Africanfuturism and Afrofuturism is meant to teach us how our memories of the past must connect with our visions of the future. Black Panther presents a vision of a distinctly African future that not only…Read more

    Mapping the Dimensions of Agency
    with Andreas Schönau, Ishan Dasgupta, Erika Versalovic, Eran Klein, and Sara Goering
    American Journal of Bioethics Neuroscience 12 (2): 172-186. 2021.
    Neural devices have the capacity to enable users to regain abilities lost due to disease or injury – for instance, a deep brain stimulator (DBS) that allows a person with Parkinson’s disease to regain the ability to fluently perform movements or a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) that enables a person with spinal cord injury to control a robotic arm. While users recognize and appreciate the technologies’ capacity to maintain or restore their capabilities, the neuroethics literature is replete with…Read more

    Asking questions that matter – Question prompt lists as tools for improving the consent process for neurotechnology clinical trials
    with Andreas Schönau, Sara Goering, Erika Versalovic, Natalia Montes, Ishan Dasgupta, and Eran Klein
    Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 16. 2022.
    Implantable neurotechnology devices such as Brain Computer Interfaces and Deep Brain Stimulators are an increasing part of treating or exploring potential treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders. While only a few devices are approved, many promising prospects for future devices are under investigation. The decision to participate in a clinical trial can be challenging, given a variety of risks to be taken into consideration. During the consent process, prospective participants migh…Read more

    Neurotechnology ethics and relational agency
    with Sara Goering and Eran Klein
    Philosophy Compass 16 (4). 2021.
    Novel neurotechnologies, like deep brain stimulation and brain‐computer interface, offer great hope for treating, curing, and preventing disease, but raise important questions about effects these devices may have on human identity, authenticity, and autonomy. After briefly assessing recent narrative work in these areas, we show that agency is a phenomenon key to all three goods and highlight the ways in which neural devices can help to draw attention to the relational nature of our agency. Drawi…Read more
