Justin Donhauser, PhD	Research Narrative │ 2022

RESEARCH OUTPUT
To date, I have thirty peer-reviewed papers published or forthcoming. Over the past year, I’ve had over a dozen papers published or accepted for publication and I have been working on two main book projects.
I have published works in leading journals in Environmental Ethics and History and Philosophy of Science: including Studies in History & Philosophy of Science, Studies in History & Philosophy of Biological & Biomedical Sciences, Environmental Values, and Ethics & the Environment. I have also published peer-reviewed papers in journals that are highly ranked in philosophy and the humanities in general: including Philosophical Studies and Synthese. And I’ve published in highly regarded interdisciplinary journals, focused on academic work that can directly inform applied sciences and matters of public policy, including: Ethics, Policy, & Environment and Science & Engineering Ethics. I also have peer-reviewed works that are published or forthcoming in numerous other journals and edited volumes. My two current book projects are as follows.
The first, Assailing the Anthropocene (in development with Routledge), will be an edited collection consisting of chapters devoted to exploring ethical and sociopolitical concerns raised by different “disruptive innovations” (e.g. ecological engineering techniques, robotics applications, and social engineering movements) that are being developed to mitigate the severe and unprecedented environmental changes we are now confront around the world.
The second, Robot Ethics (also under contract with Routledge), will be the first comprehensive Robot Ethics monograph. Robot Ethics will pose new questions about various kinds of robots that ethicists have not yet broached, and will help structure discourse in the field of Robot Ethics. It is in unique in addressing many areas that have received little to attention in current work on robot ethics; including uses of robots in ecological engineering, species protection, and sustainable urban development. The book could be used in a lot of different undergraduate and graduate courses in both the humanities and sciences, and I expect that it will also find an audience among “lay readers.” It is comprised of fourteen chapters that each distinguish various sorts of existing and emerging robotics technologies within a specific domain and identify the unique practical and ethical challenges presented by each sort of robotics technology.

AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION
Most of my publish work tackles methodological, normative, and broadly social issues at the intersection of applied environmental sciences and public policy and resource management. Some of my recent publications analyze how policies and laws pertaining to animals would be most effectively and ethically formulated in line with a robustly ecologically informed view. In related works, I examine how the well-being interests of various non-human animal populations can be protected and promoted through ecological engineering strategies and applications of emerging AI and robotics technologies. In related works, I examine ways that model-based

inferential methods used in ecology can usefully inform urgent policy and resource management decisions. Some related projects include work with engineers and ecologists on devising strategies for optimal potential uses of robot pollinators.
In other recent published and forthcoming works, I explore heuristic applications of data- driven “climate event attribution” methods for climate-policy implementation decisions and for decisions about how best to deal with various climate justice issues. These include works on the uses and implications of methods in Probabilistic Weather Event Attribution studies (PEAs) for climate refugee justice issues, other distributional justice issues, and various ecological problems. I am currently actively working on an NSF-funded project that has me working directly with climate scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) on the logic of methods they use to inform international, national, and regional climate change response and relief aid distribution strategies. I am also working for the Templeton Foundation project, “Purposes and Agents in Global Environmental Sciences”—through the Center for Philosophy of Science (University of Pittsburgh) and the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science.
My work consistently employs a multi-aspect approach that is at once:
(i)	analytic (employs methods of analysis and inference used in logic and epistemology);

(ii)	ethnographic (seeks insights into the conceptual foundations, inferential flow, and practical exports of specific scientific and sociopolitical practices through participation in those practices); and

(iii)	practicable (has clear implications for political, ethical, or strategy decision-making).
