Elizabeth Harman is Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Philosophy and Human Values at Princeton University.  She writes about the ethics of procreation, the ethics of abortion, moral status, what we owe to animals, moral ignorance, moral uncertainty, practical reasoning and the significance of regret, and actions above and beyond what morality requires.  Harman is writing two books, Love and Abortion (from her Uehiro Lectures) and When To Be a Hero, about actions above and beyond what morality requires.

Harman is co-editor of two philosophy textbooks:  Norton Introduction to Philosophy, Second Edition (2018) and Norton Introduction to Ethics (in progress).  She also edits a book series for Princeton University Press, Insights:  Philosophy in Focus; the first book in the series will be out soon.

Harman is committed to helping academia become more inclusive and supportive.  She is Director of Early-Career Research at Princeton’s Center for Human Values, providing career development and placement support to the Center’s graduate student fellows and postdocs.  Harman co-created and co-runs the Athena in Action Networking and Mentoring Workshops for Graduate Student Women in Philosophy; more than two hundred philosophy graduate students have participated in these workshops since they began in 2014.
