As a member of the UCHRI Humanists@Work Graduate Advisory Committee, I am concerned with diversifying career opportunities for PhD students in order to extend the value of the Humanities PhD. As a PhD student in the Department of Philosophy at UCSB, I conduct research in moral worth, normative theory, and moral psychology. I’m currently working on Permissible Wrong-Doing or Responsibility without Blame. The idea is that we sometimes perform wrong actions for which we are morally responsible but not blameworthy.
An argument for a space for graduate students to discuss struggles, theorize about how best to resolves these issues, and discuss the resources available for implementing interventions.
