Philosophy
I am a non-salaried lecturer at the Munich School of Philosophy as well as fellow and writer in virtual residence at PAN (People, Animals and Nature) Works, a global think tank. I have studied political science, philosophy, theatre science, and law at Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, and received a PhD in 2011 for my dissertation in political philosophy, exploring a theme from ancient political philosophy (the good city) in the context of modern urban life. My habilitation was completed in the summer of 2022, and my book "Passionate Animals" was part of the project.
I work on questions in moral and political philosophy and I am interested in the tradition of philosophical pragmatism. I have spent 15 months with a DFG research grant at the University of Sheffield which is how I also came to be interested in intellectual virtues, thought experiments and effective altruism. In addition to having taught at the universities of Jena and Graz, I have been a visiting scholar at the University of Brighton as well as at the Messerli Institute at the Veterinary University Vienna.
I support efforts to make philosophy more inclusive, not least with regard to women in philosophy. I also believe that philosophy should be made more accessible to the general public. I also enjoy running workshops on my research topics for non-academic audiences such as schools or in the context of continued education.
