Dr. Kirk Lougheed received his B.A. (Honours) in Philosophy from Tyndale University, an M.A. in Interdisciplinary Humanities from Trinity Western University, an M.A. in Philosophy from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from McMaster University. He has received three research fellowships from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada throughout his academic career. Dr. Lougheed has published over 40 book chapters or journal articles in such places as The Journal of the American Philosophical Association, The Monist, and Synthese. He is the author of six monographs, the most recent of which is *African Philosophy of Religion and Western Monotheism* (with Motsamai Molefe and Thaddeus Metz), published by Cambridge University Press. Much of his current research involves developing African-inspired normative theories for application to global debates in applied ethics. He is also particularly interested in current debates about procreative ethics. You can find out more about Dr. Lougheed’s research at www.kirklougheed.com.
