My name is Andrew Ivan Brown and I do qualitative social science research that is aggressively interdisciplinary. My topics of research include disability studies such as affirmative perspectives on ADHD 💃 beyond neurodiversity frameworks; the neuroethics of implantable neurotechnology 🧠; and science and technology studies of neuroscience and society and rhetoric in scientific research. My methodologies include ethnography (interviews and fieldwork), critical discourse analysis, and even surveys 🤓.
I’m currently a postdoctoral research associate with the neuroethics research group (website) in the department of philosophy at the University of Washington, Seattle. My work here includes attending lab sessions for a new deep brain stimulation device being developed to treat stroke-induced paralysis, interviewing research participants and their support partners (family, caregivers, etc.), and teaching Interdisciplinary Approaches to Neuroethics 👨🏫. I am also a labor activist ✊. Outside of work, I help with cat rescues and do other stuff that you can read about in my curriculum vitae 📃. If you’d like to chat about anything, feel free to contact me 📧.
