2023-2024: Employment on the project “Dynamic Territory (DynamiTE)“, PI: Alejandra Mancilla, situated at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas and funded by the European Research Council, University of Oslo

• As part of this larger project, I developed my own sub-project on the themes of sustainability and land-use with respect to nature conservation. For that purpose, I am currently working on a book manuscript that illuminates the tripartite relationship between sustainability, nature conservation and justice.

2022-2023: Principal investigator of the project “Just Anthropocene” situated at the Department of Philosophy and funded by the Forschungskredit Postdoc, University of Zurich

2021-2022: Joint project entitled “When is (bio)diversity good/valuable?” with Norman Backhaus, Anna Deplazes-Zemp and Mollie Chapman, funded by the URPP Global Change and Biodiversity, University of Zurich

• This project investigated from a philosophical as well as a social-scientific perspective the value of biodiversity. The normative question that I was particularly concerned with: What (if any) moral reasons based on the notion of natural otherness speak in favour of protecting (bio)diversity?

2019-2021: Employment on the project “Peoples’ Place in Nature“, PI: Anna Deplazes-Zemp, funded by the URPP Global Change and Biodiversity and the NOMIS Foundation and situated at the Department of Philosophy, University of Zurich

• This project investigated different aspects of the human-nature relationship. As part of this focus on relationality, I developed as my own sub-project a particular understanding of natural otherness with regard to theorising the moral standing of non-human beings.

2014-2018: PhD Project entitled “Just Footprints: distributing ecological space across species and place” funded by studentships awarded by the School of Politics, International Relations and the Environment (Keele University) and the Sustainable Consumption Institute (University of Manchester). The project was situated at Keele University at first and then at the Politics Department (MANCEPT) and the SCI of the University of Manchester.

• Supervision: Prof. Sherilyn MacGregor & Prof. John O’Neill
• I developed a biocentric account of distributive justice to non-human beings – also known as ecological or interspecies justice.
