Education and career

Mason received her Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Chicago in 2001. Her doctoral thesis was entitled Moral Virtue and Reasons for Action. Before receiving her doctorate, Mason accepted an Assistant Professorship at the University of Minnesota. In 2002-2003, she accepted a position as Faculty Fellow in Harvard University's Program in Ethics and the Professions. She was named McKnight Land-Grant Professor for 2005–2007 and promoted to Associate Professor in 2007. In 2013, she became Associate Editor at Ethics. In 2015, she began a recurring visiting professorship at Brown University.

Research areas

Mason's work has focused on ethics and moral psychology, with a special interest in the so-called reactive attitudes and how modern philosophical commitments in normative ethical theory constrain the class of morally justifiable reactive attitudes. Notably, she has defended the view that attitudes such as properly focussed shame and contempt (as well as moralized forms of pride and love) should be included in the latter class.
