Heidi L. Maibom studied at the University of Copenhagen, the University of Bologna and University College London, and has held fellowships at Cambridge and Princeton Universities. She works on folk psychology, empathy, responsibility and psychopathy, for example: what is empathy and what is its moral relevance? how should we understand shame? how do we understand other minds? are psychopaths responsible agents? do you need to know what you are doing in order to be responsible for it? do judgments of right or wrong essentially spring from practical reason or emotion? are women better empathizers than men? Her publications include Empathy and Morality<\/em> (editor), Neurofeminism: Issues at the Intersection of Feminist Theory and Cognitive Science <\/em>with Robyn Bluhm and Anne Jaap Jacobson, as well as numerous peer-reviewed publications and book chapters.<\/p>\n
