Biography
I am an assistant professor in ethics and political philosophy at the Ethics Institute. In January 2017, I defended my PhD thesis ‘Constructing Morality: Transcendental Arguments in Ethics’. I am interested in all areas of ethics (meta-ethics, normative ethics and applied ethics) and I am particularly interested in the relation between these different areas. I have received my Bachelor’s degree from University College Maastricht (2009, cum laude) and my Research Master’s degree in Philosophy from Utrecht University (2011, cum laude). During my PhD project, I spent a term at the Manchester Centre for Political Theory (2014) and another term at the London School of Economics (2015). I will be a visiting researcher at the Faculty of Philosophy of Cambridge University for the autumn term of 2017.
