Currently, I'm interim professor in philosophy at Georg-August University Göttingen. I've also held the Helene Lange visiting professorship at the department of philosophy at Oldenburg University and a DFG-Walter-Benjamin grant at the department of philosophy as well as the Institute for Ethics and Public Affairs at San Diego State University. I've also worked as assistant professor/postdoc in political theory at Potsdam University (currently on leave) and in practical philosophy at Freie University in Berlin. Since October 2021, I'm the principal investigator of a DFG-research network with sixteen international researchers on the topic of The Relation between Theories of Epistemic Injustice and Recognition Theory. I'm an associate member of the Potsdam Center for Post-Kantian Philosophy as well as Ethics in Motion. Feminist Ethics and #MeToo (EMFEM) funded by the Icelandic Research Fund. From 2018-2020, I was assistant professor/postdoc in practical philosophy at Freie University in Berlin.
I have a liberal arts degree from the European College of Liberal Arts (now Bard College Berlin), a BA-degree in philosophy and english literature from Georg-August University of Göttingen, and a MA-degree in philosophy from Sheffield University. In 2015 I spent a semester at the Department of Philosophy and Linguistics at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For a period of six years, I was an executive board member of SWIP Germany and I'm a founding member and secretary of the Network of Analytic Philosophy and Social Critique. I held a fellowship at the Carl and Max Schneider Stiftung and at the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung. My thesis is on the concept of rape and combines various topics including questions of conceptual analysis, family resemblance, feminist methodology, feminist epistemology, ideology, and emancipation. It is published with transcript Publishers. I'm also the author of two public philosophy books: Wer hat Angst vorm Feminismus (C.H. Beck, 2001) and Sex und Moral (Metzler, Series #PhilosophieOrientiert, 2021). And I have just finished a book on epistemic injustices for de Gruyter (Grundthemen Philosophie, forthcoming April 2024).
I work mainly in political philosophy and epistemology, social and feminist philosophy, and applied ethics -- with a particular focus on the intersection of social and institutional injustices, epistemic oppression, recognition failures, social ontology, and marginalized agency under ideological and oppressive social structures. Further research interests are in philosophy of disability and chronic illness, migration ethics, and non-ideal theory.
I have published articles and books on the following topics: epistemic oppression and injustice, recognition theory, migration ethics, philosophy of disability and medical ethics, structural injustice and racism, responsibility and collective accountability, consent, philosophy of sex, rape and rape myths, sexist ideology, conceptual amelioration, non-ideal theory, and women in academia. My articles have appeared in European Journal of Philosophy, Ergo, Inquiry, Journal of Social Philosophy, Hypatia, Social Epistemology, Philosophy and Social Criticism, Theoria, Zeitschrift für Praktische Philosophie, Constellations and others.
Most of my papers and talks can be found on academia.edu or on philpapers.
