Brit Brogaard joined the department in 2005. She is the American editor of the international philosophy journal *Erkenntnis* and Vice President for the Central States Philosophical Association. Before returning to the States she held a research fellowship at the Centre for Consciousness at the Australian National University, where she worked on perception and the contents of consciousness, with David Chalmers (author of: The Conscious Mind). She has a background in neuroscience from University of Copenhagen and a Ph.D. in philosophy. Her current research is located at the intersection of philosophy of mind and psychology. Her most current empirical project investigates the potential adaptive advantages of certain types of attitudes towards the consequences of intentional action. She is also the P.I. of a synesthesia research team that studies unconscious color processing in subjects with higher synesthesia. She has authored or co-authored papers which have appeared in various journals and edited volumes, including: Noûs, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Philosophical Quarterly, Australasian Journal of Philosophy, Philosophical Perspectives, American Philosophical Quarterly, Analysis, Mind and Language, The Monist, Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, Synthese and Canadian Journal of Philosophy. Her edited book volume *Does Perception have Content?* is scheduled to appear with Oxford University Press in 2011. She is currently working on a book entitled *Sick Love?*
