S. Andrew Schroeder is a PhD candidate in the Department of Philosophy. His research is focused on rethinking the territory of normative ethics, showing that traditional ways of carving up the domain don't do justice to its complexity. In his dissertation, he argues that evaluative concepts, like good and better, are inferentially isolated from deontic ones, like obliged and forbidden, and that attention to this fact sheds light on many debates in contemporary normative ethics. Schroeder is also very interested in teaching moral philosophy, and in particular in bringing philosophical ethics to a wider audience. At Harvard, he has served as a teaching fellow for several courses on ethics and the philosophy of biology, and was the head teaching fellow for Michael Sandel's famous Justice course. Schroeder holds a BA in philosophy summa cum laude from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota.
