Rowlands explores consciousness embodiment, arguing for the primacy of the 'lived body' over the 'body as object', and investigates animal personhood through cognitive continuity. His work on moral enhancement critiques bioethical interventions, while episodic memory analysis reveals the heterogeneity of memory systems.

Key publications include World on Fire (2021) on animal consumption ethics and The Philosopher and the Wolf (2021) examining human-animal relationships. His scholarly output demonstrates expertise in phenomenology, moral psychology, and cognitive science.
