Welcome to my site! I'm a Lise Meitner senior postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna. Previously, I had various postdoctoral grants in Paris, Barcelona and Vitoria-Gasteiz, and I was a member of HiTT, GLiF and LOGOS. You can find my full CV here. |
RESEARCH
My research focuses on the semantics of "perspectival" expressions - predicates of taste, aesthetic predicates, moral terms etc. I'm involved in the contemporary debate between contextualism and relativism about these expressions. I'm also interested in the semantics of knowledge ascriptions, epistemic modals and tense. Theories of speaker meaning and methodological issues such as the status of certain arguments (e.g., "the argument from binding", "the argument from disagreement" etc.) in current semantic debates are among my interests too. Recently, I became interested in the semantics of slurs and gender terms. Click here for more details. |

In November, Bianca, Teresa and I will have a symposium on "Non-Derogatory Uses of Slurs" at the OZSW in Utrecht. In August I was at ECAP9, where I gave a talk entitled "Self-Identificatory Uses of Slurs and Their Semantics". On 1st of August I started my Lise Meitner grant at the University of Vienna! Check out my project here. At the same time, I became a collaborator to the ERC project The Emergence of Relativism. |
