About the presenter

Dr. Larisa Svirsky is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Ethics at the University of Toronto. Her research is primarily in public health ethics, moral psychology, and social philosophy. She received her PhD at UNC-Chapel Hill. In a recent series of papers, she develops a relational view of responsibility motivated by how we hold children and people with mental illness and addiction responsible in ordinary life. She was previously a Lecturer in the Brandeis University Philosophy Department as well as a Postdoctoral Scholar at The Ohio State University College of Public Health/the Center for Bioethics at OSU Medical Center. Her research at OSU was part of an interdisciplinary project called Regulating Addiction: Paternalism, Stigma, and Health Disparities. This project sparked her ongoing research on the ethics of harm reduction, scientific communication, and the use of opioid treatment agreements.
