Whose Job Is It to Fight Climate Change: A Response to Hickey, Rieder, and Earl
Gender Identity, Gendered Spaces, and Figuring Out What You Love
Delimiting the Proper Scope of Epistemology
Society: Don't blame the mothers
Accountability and values in radically collaborative research
Performative Force, Convention, and Discursive Injustice
I explore how gender can shape the pragmatics of speech. In some circumstances, when a woman deploys standard discursive conventions in order to produce a speech act with a specific performative force, her utterance can turn out, in virtue of its uptake, to have a quite different force—a less empowering force—than it would have if performed by a man. When members of a disadvantaged group face a systematic inability to produce a specific kind of s…
Author TBD”: Radical Collaboration in Contemporary Biomedical Research
Ghostwriting scandals are pervasive in industry-funded biomedical research, and most responses to them have presumed that they represent a sharp transgression of the norms of scientific authorship. I argue that in fact, ghostwriting represents a continuous extension of current socially accepted authorship practices. I claim that the radically collaborative, decentralized, interdisciplinary research that forms the gold standard in medicine is in a…
The ethics and cultural politics of reproductive risk warnings: A case study of California's Proposition 65
Public space is filled with reproductive risk warnings, from labels on bottles of alcohol and cigarette packs, to disclaimers on drugs, signs posted in front of amusement park rides, and public health campaigns and advisories aimed at modifying pregnant women's behaviour. California's Proposition 65 requires that businesses post signs warning of the presence of chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. In this paper …
‘Yo!’ and ‘Lo!’: The Pragmatic Topography of the Space of Reasons
Risk and the Pregnant Body
Reasoning well about risk is most challenging when a woman is pregnant, for patient and doctor alike. During pregnancy, we tend to note the risks of medical interventions without adequately noting those of failing to intervene, yet when it's time to give birth, interventions are seldom questioned, even when they don't work. Meanwhile, outside the clinic, advice given to pregnant women on how to stay healthy in everyday life can seem capricious an…
Measuring mothering
As a culture, we have a tendency to measure motherhood in terms of a set of signal moments that have become the focus of special social attention and anxiety; we interpret these as emblematic summations of women’s mothering abilities. Women’s performances during these moments can seem to exhaust the story of mothering, and mothers often internalize these measures and evaluate their own mothering in terms of them. “Good” mothers are those who pass…
The Dream of the Perfect Child by Joan Rothschild
Ethics and Ideology in Breastfeeding Advocacy Campaigns
Mothers serve as an important layer of the health-care system, with special responsi-bilities to care for the health of families and nations. In our social discourse, we tend to treat maternal “choices” as though they were morally and causally Self-contained units of influence with primary control over children's health. In this essay, I use infant feeding as a lens for examining the ethical contours of mothers’ caretaking practices and responsib…

How to Get an Interpretivist Committed
Making and Masking Human Nature: Rousseau's Aesthetics of Education
Etude de la conception de la nature humaine developpee par Rousseau dans le cadre d'une esthetique de l'education fondee sur l'autonomie de l'agent et sur le caractere naturel de l'identite. Definissant le soi comme un poduit esthetique et normatif, l'A. montre que le processus educatif chez Rousseau doit etre masque afin d'echapper a la menace de paranoia propre a notre culture. Examinant la distinction rousseauiste entre la nature et l'artifice…
Cognitive Models and Representation
Several accounts of representation in cognitive systems have recently been proposed. These look for a theory that will establish how a representation comes to have a certain content, and how these representations are used by cognitive systems. Covariation accounts are unsatisfactory, as they make intelligent reasoning and cognition impossible. Cummins' interpretation-based account cannot explain the distinction between cognitive and non-cognitive…
