Yuna Won

I'm a Doctoral Lecturer at Hunter College, CUNY. Last year I was a Philosophical Review Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University (2022-2023). I taught at Indiana University (Bloomington), Princeton, and Ithaca College in the past. 

I received my Ph.D in philosophy from Cornell University. My primary interests are in philosophy of language (formal semantics, pragmatics and feminist philosophy of language), philosophical logic, and metaethics. More specifically, I'm interested in the dynamic and dual nature of language in our normative reasoning, dynamic semantics, speech acts and various arguments using Moral Twin Earth thought experiments and the notion of disagreement. Also, I am interested in problems in feminist philosophy of language. Recently, I have been working on silencing, discursive inability, and pathological conversational patterns such as hepeating. Related to these research projects, I've been running a survey on the dynamics of a group conversation. (Please take part in the survey here if it sounds interesting to you.) 

As an educator, I am passionate about teaching a broad range of philosophical issues and developing new courses and pedagogical strategies. Here's my poster on designing Movies and Philosophical Conversation, an introductory philosophy course using film. 

Other than doing philosophy, I enjoy watching and playing tennis, climbing, and learning new things such as crochet, statistics, and NLP.
