Interdisciplinary Approaches to Neuroethics, example slide:
Update Sept. 30 – my 2 chapters in the Neurodiversity Handbook were published!
My name is Andrew Ivan Brown and I do qualitative social science research that is aggressively interdisciplinary. My topics of research include affirmative perspectives on ADHD 💃 beyond neurodiversity frameworks; as well as the ethics of implantable neurotechnology 🧠. See some of my other research areas too 🤓. I’m currently a postdoc with the neuroethics group (website) in the philosophy department at the University of Washington.
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, make award-winning video games using C#, have a love for film, 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 📧.
