Since
1985,
I have, with great pleasure, been in the Chapel Hill Philosophy
Department, where I am the Morehead Alumni Distinguished Professor and the Director of UNC's Program in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. Within
philosophy, my interests include metaethics, moral theory, political philosophy, epistemology
and metaphysics.
Outside of philosophy, I spend a decent amount of time appreciating good coffee, indulging a taste for old cars and motorcycles, and for nine years, but sadly no longer, I spent time providing early morning child care at our kids' school, the Montessori Children's House of Durham, where my wife is now (but was not then) the Head of School. You'll find on the web two discussions I have had with Will Wilkinson on Bloggingheads.tv, one on Metaethics, and one on Evolution and Morality. And there is a radio interview about moral dilemmas, conducted by Alan Saunders, on the Philosophers Zone, which airs on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. A list of my publications, many of which are available in e-form, is HERE. My curriculum vita is HERE. In December 2010 I had the honor of giving the mid-year Commencement Address at UNC/Chapel Hill. You can find it on YouTube HERE. My Mom, Dr. Joan McCord, passed away, after a brief but devastating bout with cancer, on February 24, 2004. To learn about her and her work, you might go to her webpage, to her obituary in the New York Times and to a nice tribute to her on the web on the American Society of Criminology site. A collection of her papers, Crime and Family, is available on Amazon HERE.
