I'm an Associate Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Gender Studies program at Spring Hill College. My current research focuses astrobiology ethics, the ethics of space exploration, and the ethics of science and technology, as well as public philosophy, feminist philosophy, bioethics, and environmental ethics. I am co-editor of the online journal 1000 Word Philosophy, and I bring the benefits of philosophical inquiry to area children through my award-winning Philosophy for Children service-learning course.
