Long Bio
Michelle Saint is originally from Sacramento, California. She attended graduate school in Arizona, after which she spent time working in Florida, Washington, and Minnesota. She then returned to Arizona State University in 2016 as a philosophy lecturer. In 2020, she additionally received a Masters degree in mental health counseling.
Saint specializes in the philosophy of fiction. Her work covers the metaphysics of fiction, the moral value of fiction, and the philosophy of mind. Her current research interests involve the application of feminist ethical theory to aesthetics, the role of narrative in psychological well-being, and the social significance of fictional artworks.
Along with her work in fiction, Dr. Saint is committed to pedagogy. She uses a compassion-focused approach to teaching, with an emphasis on skills-acquisition.
