Huzeyfe Demirtas
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Philosophy at Harvard University, Department of Philosophy. Before coming to Harvard, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Smith Institute for Political Economy and Philosophy at Chapman University. I earned my PhD in philosophy at Syracuse University, Department of Philosophy. I completed my postbaccalaureate studies in philosophy at SUNY Fredonia. And I hold a BS degree in computer science teaching from Firat University. I am a dual citizen of Turkey and the United States.
My primary research interests are moral responsibility, free will, and causation, and applied ethics (ethics of AI, environmental ethics).
At Syracuse and Chapman, I taught courses like ethics, logic, environmental ethics, free will, happiness and meaning in life, and theories of knowledge and reality. At Harvard, I created and taught modules—embedded in undergraduate and graduate computer science courses—on topics such as the ethics of technological unemployment, distributive justice, and the ethics of hacking back, as well as designing and leading course-specific ethics bowl activities.
