General Background
Dr. Prior’s dissertation focused on an analysis of the concept of knowledge. While at CSM she has incorporated her epistemological interests into to some of her classes, but she has also expanded her research to issues in healthcare ethics, academic integrity, and freedom of expression. Dr. Prior hopes the creative spark that comes from exploring old ideas from new perspectives inspires her students to continue seeking deeper understanding of the things that matter to them.
