Western University
London, Ontario
Jasmine Gunkel, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Western University. Before moving up north, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health. Pior to that, she recevied her PhD in philosophy from the University of Southern California. She works primarily on intimacy: figuring out what it is, why it can make us so vulnerable, and why our intimate rights are so stringent. In the medical realm, she's thought about how intimacy shapes the obligations of doctors, nurses, researchers, and insureres. She also has projects at the intersection of AI and healthcare, on various issues in feminist philosophy, and on our duties towards animals.
