My work <span style="font-weight: 400;">draws on scientific research to understand moral controversies and social change. </span>In my spare time, I like to get outdoors, play guitar, cook, climb, and play catch with my daughter. </p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="alignleft is-resized"><a href="https://www.joshdmay.com/research/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="100" height="100" src="https://www.joshdmay.com/wp-content/media/icon-rsrch.png" alt="icon-rsrch" class="wp-image-586" style="width:53px;height:53px"/></a></figure></div> <p>Most of my <a href="/research/">research</a> lies at the intersection of ethics and science. My book <a href="https://www.joshdmay.com/books/neuroethics/"><em>Neuroethics</em></a> (Oxford University Press, 2023) argues that human agency and mental health are diverse and flexible. And in <em><a href="https://www.joshdmay.com/books/regard-for-reason/">Regard for Reason in the Moral Mind</a> </em>(Oxford University Press, 2018) I argue that reasoning plays a fundamental role in moral thought and action. Articles of mine have appeared in publications like the <em>Australasian Journal of Philosophy</em>, <em>Behavioral & Brain Sciences</em>, <em>Cognition</em>, <em>Journal of Medical Ethics</em>, <em>Mind & Language</em>, <em>Neuroethics</em>, <em>Philosophical Studies</em>, and <em>Synthese</em>.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="alignleft is-resized"><a href="https://www.joshdmay.com/media/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="150" height="150" src="https://www.joshdmay.com/wp-content/media/icon-media.png" alt="icon-media" class="wp-image-882" style="width:59px;height:59px"/></a></figure></div> <p>My <a href="https://www.joshdmay.com/media/">public-facing work</a> includes articles for newspapers and magazines (e.g. <em>The Boston Globe</em>, WBUR’s <em>Cognoscenti</em>, <em>Psyche</em>, <em>The Prindle Post</em>, <em>The Birmingham News</em>).

I occasionally teach seminars, which usually cover current debates in these areas.
