Nancy Bauer is interested in thinking about what philosophy is and what role it plays, or should or might play, in everyday human life. Her writing explores these issues, especially as they arise in reflection about gender and philosophy, the history of philosophy, and philosophy and film. Her book on Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex was published by Columbia University Press in 2001, and she is currently finishing up a new book called How to Do Things With Pornography. Bauer received her Ph.D. in Philosophy from Harvard after majoring in social science as an undergraduate, working as a reporter and a medical writer, and attending divinity school. She enjoys hanging out with her children; wrestling with the Sunday NYT crossword puzzle, listening to all things rock and roll, and watching, playing, and coaching baseball.
