Tom Dougherty

Associate Professor at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

I’m an Associate Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In June-August 2020, I will be the Harsanyi Fellow at the Australian National University. I completed my B.A. at Oxford (2004) and my PhD at MIT (2010). I was a post-doctoral scholar at Stanford (2010-2012) and a lecturer at the University of Sydney (2012-2014), and the University of Cambridge (2014-2019).

I’m currently writing books on the ethics of consent and on the rational (in)significance of the fact that we act from a temporal perspective. Among other topics, I’ve also researched the debate over consequentialism, ethical vagueness and female under-representation in philosophy.
