During her PhD studies, she conducted research at the University of Notre Dame and University of Reading. Roeser's research focuses on the intersection of ethics, emotions, and technology, particularly in the context of risk assessment and decision-making. She has developed 'affectual intuitionism,' a metaethical theory combining ethical intuitionism with cognitive theories of emotions.

David Phillips is Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Houston within the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. His research specializes in ethics with primary focus on the history of ethics and metaethics, particularly British moral philosophers including Henry Sidgwick and W.D. Ross. Dr. Phillips' educational background includes: Lincoln College, Oxford University (1983-1986): B.A. with first class honours in Philosophy, Politics and Economics Cornell University (1986-1993): M.A. in Philosophy (1989), Ph.D. in Philosophy (1993) His scholarly work centers on reconstructing historical ethical frameworks while engaging contemporary debates. Phillips has produced a trilogy of Oxford University Press monographs analyzing Sidgwick's philosophy, culminating in his 2022 guide to The Methods of Ethics . His research consistently bridges historical interpretation with metaethical inquiry, examining moral motivation, error theory, and the foundations of normative ethics through the lens of 18th-19th century British thought. Analysis of his publication record reveals sustained engagement with Sidgwick's dualism of practical reason, Rossian deontology, and Humean moral psychology. His work demonstrates methodological sophistication in connecting historical texts to current metaethical controversies, particularly regarding moral semantics, psychological internalism, and the viability of moral realism. Recurring thematic threads include the tension between egoism and altruism, the epistemology of moral intuitions, and the interpretation of classical utilitarianism.

Eric Swanson is a Professor of Philosophy and Linguistics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he has been teaching since 2006. He serves as Placement Director and Course Scheduler for the Department of Philosophy within the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. His office is located in Angell Hall, where he holds regular office hours for students. Dr. Swanson received his academic training from prestigious institutions: Ph.D. in Philosophy (minor in Linguistics), Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006 M.A. in Philosophy, Tufts University, 2001 M.A. in Slavic Languages and Literatures, Yale University, 1999 B.A. in Literature, Bard College, 1997 Professor Swanson's research spans multiple interfaces between language and philosophical domains. His current work focuses on social and political philosophy of language and metaethics, particularly examining how language force extends beyond apparent information shared among discourse participants. He has made significant contributions to understanding relationships between language and epistemology (epistemic modals and conditionals), language and metaphysics (causal talk), and language and ethics (deontic modals). His theoretical frameworks include 'constraint semantics' and 'ordering supervaluationism,' providing innovative approaches to linguistic theorizing across these domains. His recent publications reveal a trajectory moving from technical linguistic-philosophical work toward more socially and politically engaged analyses of language. The most recent articles increasingly address issues of ideology, normativity, and political dimensions of language use while maintaining rigorous formal approaches. His work consistently bridges analytic philosophy of language with broader social concerns, demonstrating how technical linguistic phenomena connect to larger questions about power, ideology, and social structure. Professor Swanson has taught a diverse range of courses from introductory philosophy to specialized graduate seminars. In Fall 2025, he will teach the graduate proseminar for first-year Ph.D. students and Philosophy 340 (Minds and Machines). His undergraduate teaching includes Introduction to Philosophy, Philosophy and Narrative, Introduction to Formal Philosophical Methods, Minds and Machines, Language and Mind, and specialized courses on Philosophy of Language with a focus on contemporary AI. At the graduate level, he has taught numerous proseminars and specialized courses on topics including metasemantics, normative language, social and political philosophy of language, underdetermination, and discourse constraints on anaphora.

His work uniquely bridges analytic epistemology with Wittgensteinian insights and ancient philosophical traditions, examining how normative constraints govern belief formation in both individual and social contexts. Recent projects critically engage with applied epistemic phenomena including genocide denial, vaccine refusal, and climate change discourse. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2019-2025) reveals a methodological evolution from pure epistemology toward socially embedded normative frameworks. While maintaining rigorous focus on foundational questions of rationality and evidence, his scholarship increasingly addresses structural epistemic injustices and collective responsibility, demonstrating how theoretical epistemology informs urgent contemporary crises through interdisciplinary lenses. Dr. Schmidt has secured competitive research funding including an SNF Postdoc Mobility Fellowship (2022-2023) supporting collaborative work at the University of Southern California and University of Glasgow, alongside prior support from the German National Academic Foundation.

Sharon Berry serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Indiana University Bloomington within the College of Arts & Sciences. She earned her Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2013 and maintains an active research profile in core philosophical disciplines. Her educational background includes: Ph.D. in Philosophy, Harvard University (2013) Dr. Berry's research primarily investigates epistemological foundations of mathematical knowledge, with specialized focus on the access problem (questioning whether mathematical knowledge requires 'spooky coincidences'), logical coherence in mathematical applications, and set-theoretic potentialism. She extends these analyses to metametaphysical debates about realism and conventional knowledge, while connecting mathematical epistemology to ethical access problems. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges formal logic with traditional philosophical inquiry across metaphysics and metaethics. Recent publications (2018-2023) reveal consistent methodological rigor in applying logical frameworks to philosophical puzzles, particularly in mathematical epistemology and metaethics. Articles demonstrate progression from companions-in-guilt arguments in moral skepticism toward sophisticated analyses of set-theoretic foundations and deflationary metaethical theories, indicating growing specialization in logical structures underlying a priori knowledge claims.
