Dr. Jingsi Teng’s research focuses on applied ethics with a particular emphasis on environmental ethics. She is especially interested in the idea of long-term climate justice — that is justice for people who will be born long after we have died. Her dissertation addresses problems of grounding and calibrating the harm-making features of long-term climate change effects, mainly concerning distant future people over the coming centuries. She primarily teaches undergraduate level philosophy courses in critical thinking, ethics, and philosophy in general.
