Dr. Rubin teaches courses in political philosophy and about the normative aspects of policy making, including graduate courses for Duquesne's Graduate Center for Social and Public Policy. His current research and publications focus on emerging technologies (e.g. nanotechnology and artificial intelligence) and those who believe they will allow the redesign of humanity. Previous work focused on the political theory of environmentalism and urban planning, issues in science, technology and policy (e.g. the scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the problem of Earth/asteroid collisions). He also writes on literature and politics. Fellowships from the Earhart Foundation, Bradley Foundation, Carthage Foundation, Olin Foundation and the McKenna Foundation have supported his work. He is the author of The Green Crusade: Rethinking the Roots of Environmentalism and editor of Conservation Reconsidered: Nature, Virtue and American Liberal Democracy both published by Rowman and Littlefield.
