Bio
Amanda Corris’s philosophical interests center on the relationship between mind, life, and the environment, and specifically how living beings, as embodied agents, both shape and are shaped by their environments. Prior to joining the Department of Philosophy at Wake Forest in Fall 2022, she had a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Minnesota. She received her Ph.D. in Philosophy and the Life Sciences from the University of Cincinnati in 2020.
