Marcella Linn, PhD
Lecturer
I am full-time lecturer of philosophy at 草莓社区. My research interests are in Aristotle's ethics, moral theory, and moral psychology. My research combines my interpretative work on Aristotle with contemporary issues in ethics and social psychology. This work addresses several areas in ethics such as moral luck, the empirical adequacy of character and virtue, and moral development.
My teaching is informed by this research and aims at cultivating reflective practices in my students that will aid in their professional and personal development. I regularly teach online and face-to-face courses in ethics. I also use an interdisciplinary approach to my "Judgment and Decision Making" course. This course introduces students to the many cognitive biases and situational factors that override or bypass human reasoning and the questions about human agency and moral responsibility that arise as a result.
