Assistant Professor of Philosophy
Caleb Hazelwood is a philosopher of science specializing in evolutionary and developmental biology. He completed the Ph.D. in Philosophy and an M.S. in Biology at Duke University. He is also a member of the faculty for the Program in Ecology and Evolution.
Dr Hazelwood is interested in how biologists investigate, explain, and model causal processes in evolution and development. His recent work centers on topics in biology such as niche construction, phenotypic plasticity, and invasive species. His current research explores the possibility of a “practice-centered” metaphysics of science. This includes a book project, The Philosophy of Biology in Practice, under contract with Cambridge University Press.
