Richard Kimberly Heck has been a professor of philosophy at Brown
University since 2005, at which time they left their post at
Harvard, where they had taught for over a decade. On the way to
receiving their PhD in philosophy and linguistics at MIT, they
studied at Duke and Oxford. While Professor Heck’s primary
research focus has been logic and Frege, over the past few years
they have shifted to the philosophy of sex and pornography. Among
other topics, Robinson and Riki discuss this transition, along
with the difficulties of studying pornography as an academic, the
subject's aesthetic dimension, and the transformative power of
queer pornography.
