Changes

Although my principal focus as a doctoral student and junior faculty member was in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science, I taught my first class in the philosophy of biology while at Queen’s University in the mid-1990s and have kept up both research and teaching interests there since that time. I welcome students in the philosophy of biology, especially those who are prepared to travel into the cognitive or social sciences from there. Most of my recent activity has been connected with the [http://eugenicsarchive.ca Living Archives on Eugenics in Western Canada] project (2010-2015)], which I direct. I am currently completing two books: *The Eugenic Mind* derives from my work with the Living Archives project, while *Relative Beings* focuses on kinship and sociality and completes the trilogy of books I've done on the role and conception of individuals in the cognitive, biological, and social sciences. Recent and current students in the area include Matthew Barker (species), Nicolas Bullot (agents and tracking), and Emma Chien (philosophical issues in autism); Killam Postdoctoral Fellows whose work I have supervised include Gabriella Coleman (Wolfe Chair, McGill University), Ingo Brigandt (CRC, University of Alberta), Georg Theiner (Villanova University), and Alan McLuckie (Journal of the History of Philosophy and University of Alberta). I also founded and co-edit the MIT Press book series, Life and Mind: Philosophical Issues in Biology and Psychology, with Kim Sterelny.
