Janelle Gormley is a graduate student and teaching assistant at UNL. She received her B.A. of philosophy at the University of West Florida (2017), and she received her M.A. at the University of Florida (2019). Janelle’s primary interests include moral psychology, specifically with respect to Aristotelian Virtue Ethics. Other interests include, but are not limited to, the intersection between metaphysics and epistemology with respect to friendship (what friendship is, and what makes an agent justified in believing one is a friend), the role that literature or fiction plays with respect to moral learning, and rationality requirements on non-ideal agents. Aside from academic research interests, she is also exploring different avenues of philosophical pedagogy. In her free time, Janelle has picked up playing disc golf, painting neon landscapes, and gaming with friends.
