of all the Richard Browns in the world I am the onemorebrowniest

About

I am a philosopher at the City University of New York. In particular I am a Professor in the Philosophy Program and an Adjunct Professor in the Psychology Program at LaGuardia Community College. In addition I am also a member of the M.S. program in Cognitive Neuroscience at the Graduate Center, CUNY.

My work is focused on the philosophy of mind, consciousness studies, and the foundations of cognitive science but I also have interests and projects in the philosophy of language, metaethics, philosophy of physics, logic and the philosophy of logic, as well as the history of philosophy.

I earned my Ph.D. in Philosophy with a concentration in Cognitive Science from the CUNY Graduate Center in 2008.

From 2002-2003 I was at the University of Connecticut, where I earned my M.A. in Philosophy (and did some work in the Behavioral Neuroscience Laboratory led by James Chrobak), and from 2000-2002 I was at San Francisco State University where I worked in the Cognitive Psychophysiology Laboratory led by Mark Geisler (while officially enrolled in the philosophy program).
