ALISON M. JAGGAR (PhD, Buffalo, 1970) joined the faculty at CU Boulder in 1990 and holds a joint appointment with the Women and Gender Studies Program.  She was recently named College Professor of Distinction.

Areas of Interest: Contemporary social, moral and political philosophy, often from a feminist perspective. She is also interested in moral epistemology, especially in how to justify social criticism in contexts of inequality and cultural difference. More recently, she has been working on some gendered aspects of global justice.

Current Research: Recent and forthcoming books include Just Methods: An Interdisciplinary Feminist Reader (Boulder, CO: Paradigm Press, 2007), Abortion: Three Perspectives, with Michael Tooley, Philip E. Devine and Celia Wolf-Devine, (Oxford University Press, 2008); and Pogge and his Critics (Polity 2008 or 2009). She is also planning a co-authored book on Ethics Across Borders and a single-authored book on Global Gender Justice.
