Austen Hall

Austen joined the department in 2017. Their primary interests are in ethics, feminism, and their intersections. Their dissertation project focuses on the ethics of gender, in particular whether we have strong moral reasons to adopt and express queer gender identities. They are also interested in animal ethics and Iris Murdoch’s moral philosophy. In their spare time they enjoy teaching and training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, hiking, and spending time with their adorable cat, Oberon.”
