Alex Byrne, PhD
I teach in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (in the philosophy half of the department), where I am Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Philosophy. My main interests are philosophy of mind (especially perception), metaphysics (especially color) and epistemology (especially self-knowledge). A few years ago I started working on philosophical issues relating to sex and gender. To make matters worse, I recently finished a book on these topics, Trouble with Gender: Sex Facts, Gender Fictions, which is now out in the UK and the US.
