Bio:
Stephanie Beardman specializes in ethics and moral psychology. She is interested in diachronic rationality, the relevance of scientific studies to ethics, and the conception of the self over time. She has taught as an Assistant Professor at Barnard College, Columbia University, and served as a postdoctoral fellow in the Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology program at Washington University in St. Louis and a Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Fellow at the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University. She joined the NYU Center for Bioethics in the Fall 2021.
Her current research project, ‘Rational Choice and Dementia: Decision-making for Those Who May Lose Themselves,’ explores core decision-theoretic, metaphysical, and ethical aspects of dementia. More generally, her research engages with questions concerning moral status, autonomy, the moral sentiments, and moral epistemology.
