Students

2013-14: We welcome Catherine Clune-Taylor as our PhD student assistant for the Alberta Node.

Catherine Clune-Taylor is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Alberta under the supervision of Dr. Cressida Heyes. Catherine's research interests lie in the fields of philosophy of gender and sexuality, philosophy of science (particularly philosophy of biology), philosophy of medicine, social political philosophy and the work of Michel Foucault. Her currently untitled dissertation examines the 2006 revision in both clinical treatment model for and nosological reclassification of intersex conditions as disorders of sex development (DSDs), engaging in a Foucauldian analysis of scientific and political arguments offered in both the nomenclature and treatment model's favour.   Prior to enrolling in the doctoral program at the University of Alberta, Catherine completed an honors bachelor of medical science in immunology and microbiology, an honors bachelor of arts in philosophy and a master of arts in philosophy at the University of Western Ontario.
