Elizabeth Anderson is Max Shaye Professor of Public Philosophy and John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy and Women's Studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I have taught there since 1987. I teach courses in ethics, social and political philosophy, epistemology, philosophy of the social sciences, and feminist theory. Within these fields, my research has focused on democratic theory, equality in political philosophy and American law, racial integration, the ethical limits of markets, theories of value and rational choice (alternatives to consequentialism and economic theories of rational choice), pragmatism, and social epistemology. I designed and was the inaugural director of the Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE) major at University of Michigan. I do much of my philosophical work PPE style, in close engagement with the social sciences. My latest research concerns the political economy of work--what's wrong with how it is organized today, and how we can organize work in ways that improve workers' lives.
