Department Colloquium: Sarah Paul (NYU)

Sarah Paul's research concerns agency and the philosophy of mind, focusing on the nature of intention and belief. She is also interested in questions about self-knowledge, self-control, and what it means to believe in ourselves and others when it comes to difficult actions. She came to NYUAD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and has also held visiting positions at M.I.T. and Bowdoin College. She is the author of an introductory textbook on the philosophy of action that was published by Routledge in 2021.
