Ann-Sophie Barwich, PhD
I am a cognitive scientist and empirical philosopher & historian of science, technology, and the senses. I am currently a Presidential Scholar in Society and Neuroscience at The Center for Science & Society, Columbia University. There, I am the resident philosopher in the laboratory of Stuart Firestein, Neuroscientist. In July 2018 I will be starting as Visiting Assistant Professor in the Cognitive Science Program at Indiana University Bloomington. My book project highlights the importance of thinking about the sense of smell as a model for neuroscience and the senses, and is under contract with Harvard University Press. My research in the Philosophy of Olfaction investigates:
Previously, I held a research fellowship at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research, Vienna (2013-15). I received my PhD in Philosophy at the Centre for the Study of the Life Sciences, University of Exeter (2013), for my thesis titled, “Making Sense of Smell: Classifications and Model Thinking in Olfaction Theory;” and I hold an MA in Philosophy and Literature Theory from the Humboldt-University, Berlin (2009), with a thesis on causality in Leibniz and its relevance for theories of biological classification. I am also fascinated by (the history of) magic for its implications in understanding the effects that conjuring tricks play on our minds. Contact: ab4221_at_columbia,edu Twitter: @smellosopher
