Namely, I am interested in how various systems of oppression have influenced bioethical thought and education, especially ableism and sexism. This brings me into contact with a wide variety of literature in ethics, but particularly: applied ethics, normative ethics, feminist philosophy, philosophy of disability, social-political philosophy, neuroethics, and moral psychology.edit

While it may be surprising to some, there is a history of persistent, sometimes heated conflict between the profession of bioethics and the disability movement. Namely, the disability movement has engaged mainstream bioethics in an adversarial way because of radically divergent positions on topics such as: prenatal diagnosis, health care rationing, growth attenuation interventions, physician assisted suicide, and euthanasia. In my dissertation, I argue that this tension between the analyses of the disability movement and mainstream bioethics is not merely a conflict between two insular communities of “disability activists” and “bioethicists” but between those who have experienced disability and those who have not. That is, I maintain that it is a mistake to think of this conflict as arising just from a difference in ideology or political commitments, because it represents a much deeper difference—one rooted in moral psychology and epistemology. Analyzing the causes and effects of nuanced differences between the disability movement and field of bioethics’ respective moral psychologies and epistemologies--and then suggesting both theoretical and practical changes that might dissolve the conflict produced by these unacknowledged differences--is the key task of my dissertation.

Hello, I'm Shelley Tremain and I'd like to welcome you to the twenty-first installment of Dialogues on Disability, the series of interviews that I am conducting with disabled philosophers and post here on the third Wednesday of each month. The series is designed to provide a public venue for discussion with disabled philosophers about a range of topics, including their philosophical work on disability; the place of philosophy of disability vis-à-vis the discipline and profession; their experiences of institutional discrimination and personal prejudice in philosophy, in particular, and in academia, more generally; resistance to ableism; accessibility; and anti-oppressive pedagogy. His research focuses on the intersection of bioethics and philosophy of disability. He is currently working on projects related to moral psychology and well-being and has interests in feminist philosophy and social-political philosophy. In his down time, Joe can usually be found exploring the many wonders of his new home state with his partner, newborn daughter, and two dogs.
