Sarah Robins

I am a Professor of Philosophy at Purdue University, and Co-Director of the Cognition, Agency, and Intelligence Center (CAIC). I'm also an affiliate of the Purdue Institute for Integrative Neuroscience. 

​

My research is focused primarily on memory, through which I discuss a range of issues in philosophy of mind, psychology, and neuroscience. I am particularly interested in the concept of the memory trace, or engram, and the role it plays in both everyday and scientific thinking about remembering.

 

I am writing an academic monograph Memory's Trace on the role of memory traces in theories of remembering. I am the recipient of an NSF Mid-Career Award (2024-2027) through which I'm working on a project to build a conceptual ecology of the engram.
