I work in moral, political, and legal philosophy. I carry out research in fields such as environmental ethics, environmental politics, climate justice, animal ethics, and responsible innovation.
My research line, "Extending Justice and Citizenship", aims at clarifying the demands of justice and citizenship in our area of global environmental changes. It also investigates how these demands can guide just institutional reforms, steer responsible technological innovation, and encourage pro-environmental behaviour.
