Automated External Defibrillator Visibility as Community Emergency Infrastructure
Community resilience depends in part on visible and accessible emergency infrastructure that supports collective response to acute health crises. Sustainable communities require not only environmental and economic stability but also durable social systems capable of responding effectively to sudden health events. Automated external defibrillators (AEDs), when present in everyday environments, may function not only as clinical devices but also as …
Reducing Racial Disparities in Bystander CPR
Racial disparities in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival remain a persistent public health equity concern in the United States. African Americans are less likely to receive bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and experience lower survival to hospital discharge compared to White individuals. While structural inequities contribute to these disparities, less is known about modifiable psychological, informational, and environmen…
Complements, Not Competitors
A finer-grained delineation of a given explanandum reveals a nexus of closely related causal and non-causal explanations, complementing one another in ways that yield further explanatory traction on the phenomenon in question. By taking a narrower construal of what counts as a causal explanation, a new class of distinctively mathematical explanations pops into focus; Lange’s ([2013]) characterization of distinctively mathematical explanations can…
A Field Guide to Mechanisms
In this field guide, I distinguish five separate senses with which the term 'mechanism' is used in contemporary philosophy of science. Many of these senses have overlapping areas of application but involve distinct philosophical claims and characterize the target mechanisms in relevantly different ways. This field guide will clarify the key features of each sense and introduce some main debates, distinguishing those that transpire within a given …

When to Expect Violations of Causal Faithfulness and Why It Matters
I present three reasons why philosophers of science should be more concerned about violations of causal faithfulness (CF). In complex evolved systems, mechanisms for maintaining equilibrium states are highly likely to violate CF. Even when such systems do not precisely violate CF, they may nevertheless generate precisely the same problems for inferring causal structure from probabilistic relationships in data as do genuine CF violations. Thus, po…
