Bio/Research
Kari L. Theurer graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2005 with a B.A. in philosophy and a B.S. in biology. She earned her Ph.D. in philosophy from Indiana University in 2012, with a minor in history and philosophy of science. Her research is at the intersection of philosophy of science and philosophy of mind, where she focuses primarily on issues surrounding explanation and reduction in the mind and brain sciences. Her current project involves articulating and defending an account of mechanistic reduction in neuroscience. She finds teaching philosophy valuable not only because philosophy is intrinsically interesting but also because it helps students acquire a skill set integral to success in most careers. Kari’s students learn to think on their feet, reason critically, write clearly, think imaginatively, and read actively. In her spare time, Kari is a competitive powerlifter and an avid skier.
