Katie Wong

My primary research interests are in ethics, metaethics, and the philosophy of action. Since Fall 2024, I have been a Clinical Ethics Fellow at UCLA Health. I completed my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and received my BA in Philosophy and Psychology from New York University. I grew up in Stavanger, Norway.

My research explores how clarifying the nature of various interpersonal phenomena—in particular, interpersonal love—can help us better understand (and solve) philosophical problems concerning moral motivation, normativity, agency, and action.
