Cheryl Chen received her B.A. from Amherst College and her Ph.D. in philosophy from UC Berkeley. She was an assistant professor at Bryn Mawr College before coming to Harvard in 2006. She works primarily in epistemology and the philosophy of mind, though she also has interests in the history of philosophy, metaphysics and applied ethics. Recent research topics include: the relation between perception and belief, the role of bodily awareness in first-person thought, and the use of transcendental arguments against certain forms of subjectivism.
