Re-imagining reproductive rights Brownlee, Kimberley, 1978-

Description

Dr. Brownlee’s research examines the social dimensions of human life, focusing on loneliness, belonging, social human rights, and freedom of association. Working in moral, political, and legal philosophy, she explores how sociability shapes human flourishing and how everyday interactional norms generate distinct virtues, vices, goods, and harms. She is the author of Being Sure of Each Other (2020) and Conscience and Conviction (2012). Before joining UBC, she was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick and held visiting fellowships at Oxford, ANU, Vanderbilt, St Andrews, and Monash. Her honours include a Philip Leverhulme Prize (2012) and the Royal Society of Canada’s Kitty Newman Memorial Award (2022). She is also a Rhodes Scholar, Commonwealth Scholar, and Fulbright Fellow.
