ABOUT
I'm a Lecturer in the Ethics and Philosophy of Technology at TU Delft in the Netherlands. I teach a variety of classes on applied ethics to engineering students and supervise bachelor and masters level projects.
My research and teaching interests include environmental philosophy and humanities, philosophy of technology, climate ethics, and feminist philosophy. In my dissertation (Radboud University, 2018), I 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. In current research, I am turning to urban environments, focusing on rewilding and everyday life, as well as urban effects of climate change and adaptation.
Along with my friend Claire Hamlett, I co-host and produce Earth to Philosophy, a podcast about environmental philosophy. This is a no-budget labor of love for Claire and I to talk with people whose work interests us and hopefully bring environmental philosophy to a wider audience. Listen and subscribe here!
