معرفی
Cristina Ballarini is a PhD candidate in Philosophy at New York University (NYU), advised by Michael Strevens, David Chalmers, and Jane Friedman. She will join Texas Tech University as an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department starting Fall 2025. Previously, she studied Philosophy and Cognitive Science at Brown University.
Her research bridges epistemology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science, focusing on two core projects:
- The nature of doxastic attitudes (belief-like states), examining how empirical cognitive science informs philosophical questions about rationality and mental representation.
- The distinctiveness of epistemic normativity, exploring parallels and disanalogies between moral and epistemic evaluation frameworks.
Her publications analyze foundational topics in cognitive science and epistemology, including belief systems and epistemic justification under uncertainty. Recent work emphasizes empirical approaches to traditional philosophy problems.
She has taught multiple courses at NYU as sole instructor (e.g., Epistemology, Logic, Consciousness) and recitation instructor (Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Language). No awards, grants, or supervised students are documented.
