Bess Rothman

I’m a Ph.D. candidate at MIT, in the philosophy section of the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy. I’m also a lecturer at Tufts.

I work on feminist philosophy, metaphysics, and ethics, but mostly on topics at their various intersections. My dissertation is about metaphysical, ethical, and metasemantic issues related to social construction, especially the social construction of human kinds.

On this website, you can find out more about my research projects (finished and ongoing) and my teaching.
