Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy

Autumn Averitt received her B.A. in Philosophy from Baylor University and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Philosophy (specializing in Metaphysics and Epistemology) at Indiana University, Bloomington.  Her research focuses on the reliability of introspection and its use in phenomenal contrast arguments, which are designed to highlight the relationship between conscious experience and mental content.  Her teaching interests lie in sharing the tools philosophy can offer to everyone, from critical thinking to a reflective engagement with one’s ethical framework.  When not musing over philosophical conundrums, she enjoys cooking, hiking with her cattle dog Chester, and playing board games.
