Dr. Phillips studies normative theory, research integrity, and public policy. Her
work examines norms for best practices in research, the behaviors that constitute
research misconduct, and the effect of policy driven approaches to promoting
the responsible conduct of research. Dr. Phillips is PI on several NSF grants
and author of numerous peer reviewed articles in journals such as
Bioethics, IRB: Ethics & Research, Science and Engineering Ethics
, and
Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics.
Her teaching focuses on normative questions in criminal law, public policy, and global affairs. Using active learning techniques, her classes explore the moral limits of the criminal law, the criteria for culpability, the justification of punishment, just war theory, and whether moral obligations transcend geo-political boundaries.
Dr. Phillips currently serves as the Director for Research Integrity at West Virginia University and a member of the editorial board at American Political Science Review, Perspectives on Politics, Accountability in Research, and Journal of Medicine and Philosophy.
