About

Chris ChoGlueck (pronounced JOH-gluhk 🔊) is an Associate Professor of Ethics at New Mexico Tech. Chris is a philosopher whose research explores the influence of values on science policy and bioethics related to scientific research and reproductive politics. His primary research project investigates how ethical and political values influence evidence-based policy and drug regulation. Chris has written about the labeling of the emergency contraception (Plan B) and misinformation about its mechanism of action. Chris also reseachers how gender bias has stymied research on male contraception, to the detriment of men’s shared responsibility for preventing pregnancy. Also appointed Adjunct Faculty in Biology, he serves as the Faculty Advisor for AI Ethics at the Deju AI Institute and Faculty Advsior for Research Ethics with the NMT Office of Research and directs the Research Ethics series.

Chris has published across philosophy and outside the humanities, with articles in Philosophy of Science, Synthese, Hypatia, Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, Public Affairs Quarterly, Accountability in Research, and Contraception. His research on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been covered by the media including Scientific American, CNN, NPR, and PBS, as well as in the continuing medical education platform Contraceptive Technology Update.

Chris’s teaching offerings include general education courses in Ethics & Values in STEM and Science & Gender, as well as professional ethics courses for several undergraduate and graduate programs, including Biomedical Sciences, Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, and Public Engagement. To get outside his head, Chris climbs rocks, reads comics and “just for fun” philosophy, and makes cocktails. His daily struggle is keeping house plants alive in the desert climate of New Mexico, which is much less cooperative than back home in New Orleans.
