Rhonda Martens

I began my philosophical journey at the University of Manitoba as an undergraduate student. After grad school at Dalhousie and University of Western Ontario, I took up a postdoctoral position at the University of Chicago. In 1999 I returned home to the University of Manitoba.

I currently work on robot and cyborg ethics. My primary interest is on how our interactions with technology change our relationships with each other and ourselves. I regularly teach a course on AI, robot, and cyborg ethics, as well as courses in the history and philosophy of science.
