Office Hours: By Appointment
Adina Roskies has pursued a career in both philosophy and the neurosciences.
At the University of California, San Diego she concurrently earned an M.A. in
Philosophy and an M.S. in Neuroscience, and received a Ph.D. in Neuroscience
and Cognitive Science in 1995. Her doctoral work was in neural development in
Dr. Dennis O'Leary's laboratory at the Salk Institute, and she also worked with
both Charles Stevens and Terry Sejnowski. After receiving her degree, Adina
went on to do a postdoctoral fellowship in cognitive neuroimaging at Washington
University with Marcus Raichle and Steven Petersen, using both positron
emission tomography (PET), and the them newly developing technique of
functional MRI. Following her postdoc, Dr. Roskies became Senior Editor of the
neuroscience journal Neuron, a position she held from 1997-1999.
In 1999 Dr. Roskies returned to graduate school at MIT to pursue a second
Ph.D. in philosophy, which she completed in 2004. Her philosophical research
interests include philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and ethics. She
was a member of the McDonnell Project in Neurophilosophy, a working group
aiming to integrate philosophical thought with neurobiological research. She
has published many articles in the neurosciences as well as in philosophy,
among which are several devoted to exploring and articulating issues in
neuroethics. For one of these she was awarded the William James Prize by the
Society of Philosophy and Psychology. Dr. Roskies came to the Dartmouth
philosophy department in 2004. She was recently awarded a fellowship by the
Australian Research Council, and has spent time as a visiting fellow in the
philosophy department at the Australian National University.
