Randall K. Johnson is a Professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Law, where his scholarship explores the intersection of administrative governance, civil rights, and economic analysis of law. His work ranges from historical studies of African-American legal entrepreneurship to empirical examinations of municipal policies on policing, housing, and taxation. Research Interests: Administrative Law & Local Governance: Examining how local and state agencies craft rules, enforce regulations, and manage public resources. Civil Rights & Legal History: Investigating historical and contemporary mechanisms—such as restrictive covenants, deed-recording practices, and small-business ownership—that shape racial justice outcomes. Law & Economics: Applying quantitative and theoretical economic tools to evaluate legal institutions, creditor behavior, and public-finance mechanisms. Health Law & Policy: Analyzing disparities in health-care access and the role of minority-owned pharmacies in expanding public goods for marginalized communities. Across more than two dozen recent articles, Johnson employs interdisciplinary methods—combining legal doctrinal analysis, empirical data sets, and historical archival research—to illuminate the distributional consequences of legal rules. He frequently focuses on under-studied municipal services (parking appeals, video-tolling subsidies, USPS operations) and on the hidden legal infrastructure (liens, recording systems, cannabis banking) that influences economic opportunity.

• Meta-Ethics
• Normative Ethics
• Consequentialism
• +۷ مورد دیگر

Richard Yetter Chappell is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Miami's College of Arts and Sciences. He received his PhD from Princeton University in 2012 and has established himself as a significant voice in contemporary moral philosophy, particularly in consequentialism, utilitarianism, and effective altruism. His academic profile demonstrates a commitment to both theoretical rigor and practical application of ethical principles. Chappell's educational background includes a doctorate from Princeton University, completed in 2012. His dissertation work laid the foundation for his subsequent scholarly contributions, particularly in the interpretation and development of Derek Parfit's ethical theories, which culminated in his book Parfit's Ethics published by Cambridge University Press. His research interests center on fundamental questions in moral philosophy: what is fundamentally worth caring about, what we should do about it, and what concepts and methods philosophers should use to make progress on these questions. Chappell advocates for a view where we should fundamentally care that each individual's life goes well, with concern aggregating to prefer greater over lesser improvements to overall welfare. He argues that in practice, we should seek opportunities to help others effectively while respecting commonsense constraints for reasons of non-ideal decision theory. His methodological approach challenges the exaggerated significance many philosophers place on deontic questions, suggesting instead that deeper telic questions offer more potential for philosophical progress. Chappell's publication record reveals a consistent focus on refining consequentialist frameworks while engaging with practical ethical dilemmas. His recent work shows increasing attention to pandemic ethics, effective altruism, and the philosophical foundations of beneficence. A notable trend is his willingness to engage with controversial topics like human challenge trials during pandemics and the ethical implications of status quo bias in medical decision-making. His scholarship demonstrates a distinctive blend of theoretical sophistication and practical relevance, particularly evident in his collaborations with prominent figures like Peter Singer. Co-authored op-ed with Peter Singer on pandemic ethics for the Washington Post (2020) Lead editor for the open-access textbook An Introduction to Utilitarianism Author of Parfit's Ethics (Cambridge University Press) Editor for PhilPapers in the area of Consequentialism Chappell actively engages in public philosophy through his Substack newsletter Good Thoughts , which has attracted over 5,000 subscribers. His commitment to making philosophical insights accessible extends to his role as lead editor for the open-access textbook on utilitarianism, demonstrating his dedication to educational outreach and the practical application of ethical theory. While the available information doesn't specify formal grant funding, his work on pandemic ethics appears to have been developed in response to urgent real-world challenges, suggesting potential connections to public health policy discussions.
