Postdoctoral Fellows
Sarah Warren (Centre for Ethics Postdoctoral Fellow in Ethics), Philosophy, Emory University
Sarah Warren is a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Centre for Ethics. She received her PhD in Philosophy from Emory University, where her dissertation examined philosophical contributions to thinking through the environmental crisis and its relationship to self-world understanding, moving between eco-phenomenology, new materialism, and American pragmatism (especially the naturalistic metaphysics of John Dewey). Alongside this research, Sarah has a strong interest in supporting interdisciplinary, public-inclusive, and digital scholarship projects. Working within programs and organizations like the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship, Philosophers for Sustainability, and Common Good Atlanta, she strives to mobilize humanistic study in service of the worldly experiences and concerns that undergird and suffuse it.

Postdoctoral Fellows
Benjamin Davis (Centre for Ethics Postdoctoral Fellow in Ethics), Philosophy, Emory University
My research considers the responsibilities of elite actors today. My publications speak to the quotidian decisions of pre-professional and college-educated actors. Daily practices are always tied to divisions of labor across the globe (who sewed those chinos?) and within cities (who pulls espresso and sweeps donut crumbs?). I am interested in the orientations and pressures that entangle elite actors in a glass-paneled environment and the ruptures and challenges that invite them to — or demand that they — get out of it.
Juliette Ferry-Danini (Centre for Ethics Postdoctoral Fellow in Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, 2020-21), Philosophy, Sorbonne Université
I am a philosopher of medicine interested in conceptual, epistemological and ethical questions about medicine and science in general.
Ori Freiman (Centre for Ethics Postdoctoral Fellow in Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, 2021-22), Science & Technology Studies, Bar-Ilan University
I have a formal background in analytic philosophy (BA) and information science (MA). I have submitted my Ph.D. thesis to the Graduate Program in Science, Technology, and Society at Bar-Ilan University, about the role of knowledge in forming trust in technology. My current research explores issues of trust and ethics in AI. I do so by focusing on emerging and disrupting AI-based technologies, and by engaging with contemporary discourses in philosophy of technology, social epistemology, and science & technology studies (STS).
