about

Jenelle is a third year graduate student at the University of Connecticut. Her current research project is on the unity of consciousness in the philosophy of mind. Her target is a conceptual puzzle posed by the apparent inconceivability (paired with biological plausibility) of "partial unity" accounts of split-brain cases.
