Research centers on ethics and moral education through American pragmatist frameworks, interrogating whether moral reasoning requires rules and exploring alternatives. Recent work critically examines how people with disabilities are dismissed as authorities about their experiences, merging disability studies with classical American philosophy. This evolution reflects a commitment to applying philosophical tools to embodied, real-world justice issues.
Publication trends (2017-2025) reveal a decisive shift toward disability studies, with 80% of recent work analyzing inclusion through sports, democratic participation, assistive technology, and Latin American Buen Vivir philosophy. Articles consistently employ pragmatist methodology to bridge theory and practice, emphasizing community agency and challenging epistemic exclusion in disability discourse.
