Angela Faulconer

Angela Faulconer is a Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Brigham Young University. Her work focuses on moral philosophy, ethics, and bioethics. She has engaged in public discourse through interviews, lectures, and blogposts addressing topics like commercial surrogacy, business ethics in crises, and the intersection of faith with science and ethics. Her notable contributions include analyses of Leon Kass’s ethical frameworks and explorations of civic virtue in modern democracies.

Recent activities include a 2025 podcast episode discussing poet Anya Krugovoy Silver, 2018 talks at the University of Utah and BYU’s Wheatley Institution, and a 2020 Deseret News interview critiquing corporate social responsibility. Though no explicit grants or awards are listed, her interdisciplinary approach bridges academic philosophy with public humanities initiatives.

Her research engages with subfields such as bioethics (e.g., surrogacy debates), political philosophy (civic virtue), and applied ethics in modern dilemmas. She frequently uses media platforms to contextualize philosophical theories for broader audiences.
