Professional Bio
Teresa's research focuses on well-being (what is intrinsically good for us) and ill-being (what is intrinsically bad for us). She has worked on the relation between well-being, alienation, and resonance. Teresa is currently working on grief and well-being. The central question is: how can grief be good for us when it is so painful? She argues that the pains of grief are uniquely positioned to help us get the goods of grief.
