Kevin Connolly works on perceptual learning, cases in which a person (often an expert) perceives the world in an improved way because of prior exposure or practice. As a Mellon Fellow with the Penn Humanities Forum, he was focused on the role of expertise and learning in color perception. He was previously a postdoctoral fellow with the Network for Sensory Research, an interdisciplinary group of perception researchers with research hubs at Harvard, MIT, Toronto, London, and Glasgow. In 2011, he received his Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Toronto. Since then he has published in both philosophy and psychology journals, and at UPenn he is affiliated with both the Philosophy Department and with the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science. He is currently working on a monograph entitled Our Flexible Senses: A Study of Perceptual Learning. His work can be found on his website at kevinlconnolly.com.
