SHARON STREET (B.A., Amherst College; Ph.D., Harvard), Assistant Professor of Philosophy, specializes in ethics. Her research focuses on whether and in what sense normative judgments can be objectively correct, and on the implications of evolutionary biology for this question. While her primary research interests are thus meta-ethical (or, more accurately, meta-normative – concerning the nature of both practical and epistemic reasons), she also has strong interests in normative ethics, the history of ethics, and political philosophy. She is the author of "A Darwinian Dilemma for Realist Theories of Value" (forthcoming in Philosophical Studies, January 2006).
