Welcome!
I am Assistant Professor of Ethics and Political Philosophy at Radboud University in Nijmegen (Netherlands). Before coming to Radboud, I was a visiting scholar at the Remarque Institute at NYU and the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard University as well as a postdoctoral fellow at the Polonsky Academy at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. I hold a PhD in Political Theory from Yale University.
My work is situated within critical theory, political phenomenology, democratic theory and environmental thought. It probes the role of myth and ignorance in the face of humanity’s inability to act despite the overwhelming scientific evidence about human-caused climate change. To this end, I pay special attention to the history and politics of myth debates, conspiracy theories and science denialism as well as the relation between reason, experience and political emotion.
