dr. M. Bourban (Michel)

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.

I am currently working on two related research projects. The first is on the relationship between cosmopolitan citizenship, ecological citizenship, and sustainability. The second project investigates ethical questions raised by geoengineering measures, especially negative emissions technologies.
