Morgan Thompson specializes in philosophy of science, feminist philosophy, and social philosophy. Her current work addresses issues related to measurement and data collection, particularly concerning the validity of racial and ethnic data collected through official statistics as compared to self-report methods in social science. She is involved in a research project that focuses on public participation in scientific research and emphasizes standpoint theoretic approaches, which she refers to as 'democratizing science.' Her research also tackles empirical questions related to demographics within philosophy, providing potential explanations for the underrepresentation of women in the discipline. Thompson teaches courses that delve into philosophy of science, especially within the social sciences and psychology, as well as topics in social metaphysics and feminist philosophy.
