S. Andrew Schroeder is a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Claremont McKenna College. He received his PhD from Harvard University Department of Philosophy in 2009. His scholarly work bridges ethics, political philosophy, and the philosophy of science, with particular attention to how these fields intersect with practical concerns in medicine, public health, and policy-making.
Dr. Schroeder's educational background includes a PhD from Harvard University (2009), though specific details about his undergraduate and master's education are not provided in the available materials.
His research focuses on normative ethics, social and political philosophy, and the role of values in science. He has made significant contributions to understanding how non-epistemic values influence scientific research, particularly in medical and public health contexts. His work examines questions of democratic decision-making in science, the ethical dimensions of health metrics like the Global Burden of Disease study, and the philosophical foundations of disability and well-being. He has notably explored how scientific findings should be communicated to policymakers and the public, arguing for an ethical framework that promotes informed decision-making while acknowledging the role of values in scientific practice.
Dr. Schroeder's scholarly output demonstrates consistent engagement with contemporary issues, particularly evident in his recent work on Covid-19 policy, pandemic response ethics, and the challenges of scientific communication during public health crises. His publications reveal a trajectory of increasingly interdisciplinary work that connects philosophical analysis with practical concerns in medicine, epidemiology, and public policy.

Dr. Schroeder has collaborated with leading scholars in philosophy, medicine, and public health, including work with Nir Eyal, Samia A. Hurst, Christopher J. L. Murray, and Daniel Wikler on the philosophical dimensions of measuring the global burden of disease. His research has been published in top journals across philosophy, bioethics, and science policy.
His work on imperfect duties and group obligations represents significant contributions to normative ethics, while his more recent work has increasingly focused on the intersection of philosophy with practical concerns in medicine, public health, and science policy. Dr. Schroeder's scholarship demonstrates a consistent commitment to addressing real-world ethical challenges through rigorous philosophical analysis.
