About Me

I obtained my PhD in Philosophy and Moral Sciences in 2014 from Vrije Universiteit Brussels (Belgium). My dissertation examined the challenges climate change and other problems of environmental sustainability pose to our conceptions of individual freedom (the capabilities approach in particular) and responsibility (more specifically, common-sense morality).

Since 2016, I am a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy
 at the University of Birmingham (UK).

My job includes teaching modules in global ethics, environmental ethics and bioethics. I am happy to supervise students working on political philosophy, global (bio)ethics, climate change, environmental sustainability and intersubjective ethics. Currently, I am supervising PhD students working on food ethics, the analogy between climate change and the abolition of slavery, and environmental ethics.

I am also the Head of Education of the School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion. In addition, my administrative responsibilities include organising the ​events in the Centre for the Study of Global Ethics
 and being Exam Officer of the Department of Philosophy.
