Dr. Gregory McElwain Professor of Philsophy and Religious Studies

I have a wide range of teaching and research interests in environmental philosophy, philosophy of religion, ethics, and philosophy of science, which is helpful in a small department. My background is in both philosophy and religious studies though my methodology and research are philosophical. My research has increasingly focused on the work of the late British philosopher Mary Midgley while my overarching research focus is in the intersection of animal and environmental ethics in environmental philosophy. My current book project is based on my interviews with Mary Midgley from 2011-18, which focus largely on animals and the environment.
