Jessica P. Miller, PhD.

Welcome to the professional web page of Jessica P. Miller, Ph.D., HEC-C*

(* Certified Healthcare Ethics Consultant)

I am Professor of Philosophy and Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Interdisciplinary Programs in the University of Maine College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.  I am also staff clinical ethicist at Northern Light Health Eastern Maine Medical Center, the second largest hospital in Maine.

I have a pretty wide range of interests in clinical ethics, medical humanities, moral psychology, feminist theory, and popular culture.
