My areas of interest are moral theory and questions about the foundations and boundaries of ethics: How are humans like and unlike other animals, and what are our responsibilities to nonhumans? Are masculine and feminine approaches to morality different, and if so, why, and is this difference good or bad? What is the relationship between morality and law? I also teach "Modern Philosophy," "Symbolic Logic" and "Critical Thinking." I have written a book, Care, Autonomy, and Justice: Feminism and the Ethic of Care, and I am currently doing research on the relationship between humans and nonhuman animals.
