His current research expands upon his doctoral work on the affective ground of experience and embodiment through American Pragmatism, Phenomenology and East-Asian Philosophy to develop an affective poetics of personhood. Flowers also focuses on Pragmatist and cross-cultural approaches to machine intelligence, consciousness, and science and technology studies, specifically with a focus on algorithmic bias.
