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).
I am an Associate Professor of Global Ethics in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Birmingham (UK). More information on my research can be found on the pages "Research Topics" and "Publications." From September 2024 to August 2025, I hold a Leverhulme Fellowship. Please visit the page on "Diversity Recognition" for more information. I teach on 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 the analogy between climate change and the abolition of slavery, environmental ethics, abortion, and intergenerational justice from the perspective of indigenous people. My recent administrative responsibilities have included Assessment and Progress Lead for Philosophy and the School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion, and Head of Education for the School. |
