Susan Dwyer (PhD, MIT) is Associate Professor of Philosophy. The focus of her primary research is moral psychology, especially as it can be pursued as a branch of cognitive science. Her current work concerns the question of what makes moral attention and moral judgment possible. She is completing a book manuscript, entitled The Moral Faculty: An Essay Concerning Human Moral Judgment. In addition, Dwyer has ongoing research and teaching interests at the intersection of law, public policy, and moral philosophy (e.g., abortion, pornography), transitional justice and moral psychology (e.g., reconciliation), and feminist theory. She is a member of the International Advisory Board for the International Journal of Transitional Justice. Prior to joining the Department, Dwyer was Associate Professor and Chair of Philosophy at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
