Dr Heather Logue

Profile

I completed a BPhil in philosophy with a certificate in women's studies at the University of Pittsburgh in 2003. I joined the department in 2009 after completing my PhD at MIT, and I was promoted to Associate Professor in 2016.

Research interests

My research interests lie mostly in philosophy of mind, focusing on metaphysical, epistemological, and methodological questions related to perception. I also have an ongoing project about the metaphysics of gender.
