I am Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and John Rawls Collegiate Professor of Philosophy and Women's Studies. I teach courses in ethics, social and political philosophy, philosophy of the social sciences, and feminist theory. Within these fields, my research has focused on democratic theory, equality in political philosophy and American law, racial integration, the ethical limits of markets, theories of value and rational choice (alternatives to consequentialism and economic theories of rational choice), the philosophies of John Stuart Mill and John Dewey, and feminist epistemology and philosophy of science.
