Hi! You've reached the personal page of Amy Lara, Assistant Professor of philosophy at Kansas State. My research interests are in ethical theory and moral psychology. Recently, I've started working on the ethics of scientific communication. In particular, I'm trying to figure out if a Kantian moral view interferes with effective scientific communication, and if so, what should be done about it. Currently, I'm a member of a group of philosophers and scientists who are studying the ethical beliefs scientists have about communicating with the public. Our plan is to develop a curriculum for teaching the ethics of scientific communication to graduate students in the sciences.
