Thomas Wilk
I'm an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Widener University in Chester, PA.
I completed my PhD in at Johns Hopkins University, and my research interests lie primarily in metaethics, philosophy of language, applied ethics (especially bioethics), and epistemology, mostly pursued from a neo-pragmatist perspective. I'm also really interested in ethical and epistemic issues around joke-telling.
This channel consists mostly of lecture videos I recorded for classes that were forced online during the pandemic.
