Much of Professor Michelfelder’s teaching and research has developed at the intersection of ��movements in 20^th century European philosophy, particularly phenomenology, with the philosophy of technology. ��A special focus of her work is on ethical issues related to Internet-embedded design, ranging from individual technologies such as the Echo/Alexa to the “smart” city. Professor Michelfelder is a past president of the Society for Philosophy and Technology, and serves (since 2013) as the co-editor-in-chief of its journal, Techné: Research in Philosophy of Technology. In 2017-2018 she taught Philosophy of Technology, Critical Thinking, Animal Ethics, and the Philosophy Senior Seminar, along with supervising the Honors project of Logan Stapleton ’18 on “Persons in a Built Environment: Animals, Machines, and Moral Responsibility”.�� While she has a home office, she almost always works in her living room so she can be surrounded by her cats and dogs and be closer to the coffee maker.
