Hi! I'm Richard. I teach in the department of philosophy at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. I specialize in the philosophy of science, specifically the philosophy of the social sciences and the philosophy of biology.
I've published several articles that overlap with these areas. The section of this website devoted to my research can provide you with further information.
I'm also a faculty member in St. Lawrence University's First Year Program, where I have regularly taught courses. I've used my expertise in the philosophy of the social sciences (and my competence in the philosophy of biology) to teach the following:
1. "Markets and Morality: The Philosophical Dimensions of Business and Economics"
2. "Health, Disease, and Death: Medicine and Epidemiology in Philosophical Perspective"
3. "Explaining and Changing the Social World" (a course that introduces students to basic issues about explanation in the social sciences and different theories of justice by focusing on structural explanations of poverty in the US)
I've also taught the content of these courses in my non-First Year offerings (as lower level and upper division courses in my department)
When I'm not teaching or completing research, I play the role of an avid gamer. I love strategy games! I am also the proud dog-father of two beautiful huskies, Mishka and Kuma (check out my contact page for a picture!).
You can visit my PhilPeople profile page or my Saint Lawrence faculty page for more about me.
