Agnes Gellen Callard is the Neubauer Family Assistant Professor in Philosophy. She received her B.A. from the University of Chicago in 1997 and her PhD from Berkeley in 2008. Her primary areas of specialization are Ancient Philosophy, Ethics, and the Philosophy of Action. She is in the process of turning her PhD dissertation, An Incomparabilist Account of Akrasia, into a book.

She also has strong interests in Modern Philosophy (especially, in Kant, Hobbes and Hume) and in Political Philosophy.
