James Goodrich
I am an Assistant Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in Philosophy at the UW - Madison. My research and teaching revolves around moral theory, especially questions about rights, responsibility, justice, and the foundations of consequentialism. Some of my work also intersects with political economy, especially the nineteenth-century utilitarian and socialist traditions of political thought and the impact of emerging information technologies on the moral justification of markets and property rights.
