Charlotte Curran

(She/Her)

My academic research focuses on applied ethics and moral philosophy. During my Master’s degree, I explored the ethical and epistemic dimemsions of mental health in my dissertation, “The Role of Looping Effects on the Stability of Mental Health as a Concept.”. My undergraduate research examined personal autonomy and body ethics in my dissertation, “Do Practices of Fat-Shaming Limit Personal Autonomy?”, which was later published in Philosophy Now (Issue 144). I’m currently working out of IDEA and CLSR with my PhD research focusing on hermaneutic inequality in relationships.
