Renée Jorgensen is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan, and a Research Fellow at the Dianoia Institute of Philosophy at Australian Catholic University. She works primarily in social and political philosophy, and received her PhD in Philosophy from the University of Southern California. Prior to joining UM, she was an assistant professor in Princeton’s Department of Politics and the University Center for Human Values, and a postdoctoral fellow at the Australian National University. During her time at the Center she will be working on her book (provisionally titled Rewriting Rights: Making Reasonable Mistakes in a Social World), which explores the problems that ignorance poses for navigating each others’ moral rights, and articulates how social norms define and should constrain the notion of ‘reasonable mistakes’ in consent and self-defense. She also has ongoing research projects in predictive policing and algorithmic sentencing, statistical profiling, moral encroachment, and social and political philosophy of language, specifically slurs and hate speech.
