philosophy and ethics. Callicott has served the International
Society for Environmental Ethics as President and Yale University
as Bioethicist-in-Residence, and he has served the UNT Department
of Philosophy and Religion Studies as chair. His research goes
forward simultaneously on four main fronts: theoretical
environmental ethics; comparative environmental ethics and
philosophy; the philosophy of ecology and conservation policy; and
biocomplexity in the environment, coupled natural and human systems

Earth ethic in response to global climate change. He taught the

graduate and undergraduate courses in ancient Greek philosophy and
ethical theory in addition to environmental philosophy.
