Jennifer Hansen’s work explores the fascinating intersections of philosophy, ethics, technology, and contemporary social issues. Her core research focuses on the Philosophy of Psychiatry, where she critically examines the complex epistemological and normative assumptions underlying depression diagnoses. A significant aspect of her work involves analyzing the pronounced gender disparity in these diagnoses and evaluating the ethical permissibility of prescribing antidepressants for enhancement purposes. Dr. Hansen’s philosophical approach to psychiatry is deeply informed by her expertise in Phenomenology, Feminist Philosophy, and American Pragmatism.
