I specialize in the Philosophy of Mind and Applied Ethics, asking questions about bodies and unusual critters: what are they, how do they work, and how should we treat them? https://www.ellielg.com/research daily 0.75 2022-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e51562012eb83660a13bd84/f05ddf7c-6fea-46b3-887d-fa77c3093e35/5DDBE0D3-CEF1-43C4-96CF-0F973D296DCD_1_201_a.jpeg Research I am PhD candidate at Harvard specializing in the Philosophy of Mind, Applied Ethics, and Metaphysics. In my dissertation, I ask why I take this body to be mine, whether there is a fact of the matter, and whether this body’s mineness changes over time. At Harvard, I am advised by Alison Simmons, with additional help from Susanna Siegel and Ned Hall. This work is supplemented by my experimental research with amputees at MIT’s Biomechatronics Lab, supervised by Hugh Herr. Generally, I think about what our minds are, how they relate to our bodies, and how that differs across creatures. What features of bodies and minds influence how we should treat embodied beings? Before beginning my PhD, I earned an MPhil in Philosophy at the University of Cambridge, where I wrote about brain death with Richard Holton. I was funded by the Harvard Cambridge Fellowship. Before that, I earned a BA with High Honors from Harvard in Philosophy & Mathematics, where I won the Bowdoin Prize for Best Essay in the Natural Sciences and was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Junior 24. https://www.ellielg.com/pagecv daily 0.75 2022-08-15 https://www.ellielg.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e51562012eb83660a13bd84/173d7021-628b-4039-95e9-a574f998bbce/Screen+Shot+2022-07-01+at+4.31.08+PM.png Contact - Contact.
