PROF. SARAH ROBINS
I am a Professor of Philosophy at Purdue University, and 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 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.
