Selim Berker did his graduate work in philosophy at MIT before joining the Harvard faculty in July 2006. Although his philosophical interests are wide-ranging, his current research tends to focus on issues in ethics, epistemology, and -- especially -- the interface of ethics and epistemology. He also spends an inordinate amount of time thinking about philosophical methodology.
Some papers he has written:
"The Rejection of Epistemic Consequentialism" (forthcoming in Philosophical Issues).
"Epistemic Teleology and the Separateness of Propositions" (forthcoming in Philosophical Review).
"Gupta's Gambit," Philosophical Studies 152 (2011), pp. 17-39.
"The Normative Insignificance of Neuroscience," Philosophy & Public Affairs 37:4 (2009), pp. 293-329.
"Luminosity Regained," Philosopher's Imprint 8:2 (2008), pp. 1-22.
"Particular Reasons," Ethics 118:1 (2007), pp. 109-139.
Some courses he has taught recently:
Philosophy 250z: Metaphysical Grounding: Seminar (Spring, 2013).
Philosophy 300b: First-Year Colloquium (Spring, 2013).
Philosophy 159: Epistemology (Fall, 2012).
