Jamie Dow's research is centered in Ancient Philosophy, particularly Aristotle's views on rhetoric and emotions, and extends into Applied Ethics, focusing on leadership, persuasion, influence, and moral psychology. His work bridges classical philosophy with contemporary ethical challenges in business, media, computing, and organizational life. He explores how ancient debates about rhetoric and dialectic inform modern questions about ethical influence and decision-making.
His research is supported through the 'Leading Minds' project, which investigates the ethical dimensions of persuasive leadership in modern institutions. He is actively involved in interdisciplinary research groups including the Centre for Aesthetic, Moral and Political Philosophy, Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data, Leadership Ethics, Persuasion and Public Reason, History of Ethics, Moral Psychology, and Ethics, Culture and Decision-Making.
