Professional Life (Philosophy)

In my philosophy studies, I am interested in how discipline specific social norms can influence the direction of research, and especially of emerging technologies. Relatedly, I think about how funding structures in science influence the direction of research. These all converge in this talk for the First Feminist Philosophy of Science workshop in June 2024. I am very influenced by feminist philosophies of science and postmodern theories of knowledge.
