Her research in the ethics of technology investigates questions of justice (including climate justice), fairness, and discrimination in algorithmic systems. She regularly teaches courses in Environmental Ethics and Climate Justice. Baruch Prior to joining Baruch College, Elizabeth was Senior Ethicist at Georgetown University’s Ethics Lab where she led efforts to integrate ethics into courses across the university and partnered with public impact projects seeking to make practical progress on complex moral issues. As part of that work, she was a founding member of Georgetown’s Core Pathways Program on Climate Change, creating courses in Climate Justice and developing ethics workshops for all of the students in the program.
