Connie Rosati serves as the Roy Allison Vaughan Centennial Professor in Philosophy and Professor of Law at the University of Texas at Austin, holding positions in both the Philosophy Department within the College of Liberal Arts and the Law School. She joined UT Austin in fall 2020 after teaching at numerous prestigious institutions including the University of Arizona, Rutgers University, Northwestern University, the University of Michigan, University of California, Davis, University of Pennsylvania Law School, and University of San Diego Law School. Ph.D. in Philosophy, University of Michigan J.D., Harvard Law School Professor Rosati's scholarly work centers on foundational questions in ethics and metaethics, particularly concerning welfare, personal good, and normativity, while making significant contributions to constitutional theory and the philosophy of law. She is known for developing the "rational fit theory of welfare," which conceptualizes the "good for" relation as a reason-giving relation of fit between welfare objects and subjects. Her research critically engages with major philosophical debates about the naturalistic fallacy, welfare theory, and the objectivity of law. Examining Professor Rosati's publication history reveals a consistent trajectory exploring the intersection of ethics, metaethics, and legal theory. Her earlier work focused on foundational questions in welfare theory and personal good, while her more recent scholarship has increasingly engaged with constitutional interpretation. A notable trend is her sustained examination of how normative concepts function across both ethical and legal domains, particularly in her analysis of constitutional interpretation methods such as originalism and moral reading approaches. Professor Rosati teaches a range of courses including Constitutional Law and Theory (PHL 375M), Philosophy of Law (PHL 347), Moral Status (PHL 385), Philosophy of Citizenship (PHL 342), and Origins of Liberalism (PHL 342L). These courses reflect her interdisciplinary approach, blending philosophical analysis with legal doctrine and constitutional history. She has taught both in-person and online synchronous formats, demonstrating adaptability to different educational environments.
