Melissa Mosko recently finished her doctoral studies at Marquette University where she studied feminist ethics, social and political philosophy and continental philosophy. Her dissertation, “Sexualized Violence, Moral Disintegration and Ethical Advocacy,” used discourses in feminism, continental philosophy and contemporary moral theory to examine the nature and effects of violence on women. Melissa also received an MA in the History of Philosophy from Marquette University and a BA in Philosophy and Political Science from Xavier University.
Melissa’s current research is focused on the ethics of professional and moral advocacy, through a socially and politically robust understanding of ‘voice’ at the root of advocacy. She is also doing research on the connection between politics and selfhood in the work of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, specifically on the issues of group identity and gender.
