Dr. Christa Johnson

I am Associate Professor of Teaching in Philosophy and Assistant Director of Leadership Studies at The Ohio State University. Previously, I was Associate Professor of Practice in Philosophy and Director of the Ethics and Leadership Initiative at University of Dayton and Assistant Professor of Philosophy at California State University Long Beach. I received my Ph.D. from The Ohio State University in 2018.

My primary area of research interest is in ethical theory and moral psychology. Much of my previous work focused on the puzzles surrounding deontological constraints. My current focus is on the role of moral emotions in our moral practice. I also find myself collaborating with a co-author on a number of applied ethical topics, primarily in medical ethics.
