Since 1985, I have, with great pleasure, been in the Chapel Hill Philosophy Department. Within philosophy, my interests include metaethics, moral theory, epistemology and metaphysics. Outside of philosophy, I spend a decent amount of time appreciating good coffee, indulging a taste for old cars and motorcycles, and for nine years, but sadly no longer, I spent time providing early morning child care at our kids' school, the Montessori Children's House of Durham, where my wife is now (but was not then) the Head of School.

A video of my talk, "The Evolution of Morality," is available on the Ethics Updates webpage HERE. Also on the web are two discussions with Will Wilkerson on Bloggingheads.tv, one on Metaethics, HERE, and one on Evolution and Morality, HERE. And there is a radio interview about moral dilemmas, hosted by Alan Saunders, on the Philosophers Zone, which airs on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, HERE.
 
My Mom, Dr. Joan McCord, passed away, after a brief but devastating bout with cancer, on February 24th 2004. To learn about her and her work, you might go to her webpage HERE , to her obituary in the New York Times HERE and to a nice tribute to her on the web on the American Society of Criminology site HERE.
