Melissa Jacquart

My name is Melissa Jacquart (jay-kart). I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Philosophy Department at the University of Pennsylvania. My main areas of research are in history and philosophy of science, with a focus on philosophy of physics, astrophysics, and the nature of scientific models and theories. I’m also interested in ethics & values in science, science policy, feminist philosophy, and philosophy of education, particularly developing effective teaching methodologies for philosophy. I completed my PhD in Philosophy at Western University, where I am also a member of the Rotman Institute of Philosophy.
