<p>Has anybody taken Professor Diana B Heney for philosophy of human nature recently? Cannot find reviews of her before I i register for spring classes so was curious! </p>
<p>Professor Heney is teaching 3 classes and 2 are already closed out so that is a good sign. She recently earned her PhD and has excellent credentials. It looks like it will be a good class. Based on when she earned her BA, she should be about 32 years old. Her webpage is <a href=“http://www.dianaheney.com”>www.dianaheney.com</a>. Here is her bio:</p>
<p>I’m currently a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow at Fordham University. </p>
<p>Earlier this summer, I defended my PhD at the University of Toronto. That project brought together resources from American pragmatism (Charles Peirce, William James, John Dewey, and C.I. Lewis) and debates in contemporary metaethics. Roughly, the thesis of the thesis is that the former can help us to make progress with respect to the latter. </p>
<p>Before my time at Toronto, I did an MA in philosophy at the University of Saskatchewan (2008), two years of intellectual spelunking at the University of Calgary (2004-06), and a BA in philosophy at the University of Ottawa (2004). </p>
<p>My current research projects concern the applications of pragmatist methodology in bioethics, the continued development of a pragmatist metaethics, and a project in the history of early American pragmatism (you can see more about current research projects on my homepage).</p>
