ABOUT
In 2018 I earned my PhD in Environmental Philosophy from Radboud University Nijmegen (the Netherlands). My PhD dissertation, "Not lawn, nor pasture, nor mead": Rewilding and the cultural landscape, examined rewilding (a recent conservation strategy that emphasizes wilderness preservation by "self-willed," natural processes and reduced human management) and the challenges it poses to historic, cultural landscapes through the concept of place and placemaking. This was part of a larger, VIDI-funded project that attempted to bring insights from hermeneutic philosophy into environmental ethics to address conflicts in environmental meanings.
More recently, I was a lecturer in the Ethics and Philosophy of Technology at TU Delft in the Netherlands, teaching ethics to engineering students at the undergraduate and masters levels.
My research interests include environmental philosophy and humanities, philosophy of technology, climate ethics, and feminist philosophy. I hold an MA in Environmental Philosophy from the University of Montana (2013), where I studied the ethics of climate engineering and climate change and where my work was funded through a National Science Foundation grant. I have undergraduate degrees in Philosophy (BA) and Biology (BS) from the University of Maine (2010). Outside of academia, I have professional experience as a copy editor, a biological field researcher, a website manager, and a project coordinator. I live in Nijmegen (NL) with my partner, James Meakin, and I am originally from Portland, Maine (USA).
