Ian S. Peebles

I am an assistant professor of philosophy and bioethicist in Arizona State University's School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies. Previously, I was the Harold T. Shapiro Postdoctoral Research Associate in Bioethics for Princeton University's Center for Human Values. I earned my Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania, where I also studied social, cognitive, and affective neuroscience at Penn's Center for Neuroscience and Society.  

I specialize in ethics, bio/neuroethics, and the philosophy of race.  Currently, much of my time is spent thinking about how race and racism intersect with health, medicine, and emerging biotechnologies.  Additionally, I am interested in how virtue ethics (or, moral philosophy, more generally) might influence investigation into contemporary social issues typically monopolized by political philosophy.  For more on my research, visit my research page.
