My Research
Alongside my role as Head of Operation in International Relations at IOGS, I continue to do research in philosophy, with a particular interest in value theory (aesthetics and ethics), environmental philosophy, political philosophy, the philosophy of mind/perception, and the philosophy of technology, drawing as much as possible from the empirical and cognitive sciences.
I am currently working on developing a virtues approach to environmental aesthetics and ethics that extends to the everyday, ecological, environmental, and social justice within the context of everyday life and experience. To that end, I use the virtues approach to analyze human, cultural, engagements with ecology, environment, non-human and other human entities. This approach is diverse and pluralistic, with particular concern for local communities, place, and tradition. This approach is also concerned to focus on mixed, urban and artistic spaces, and the impact of advanced technologies.
