legal andABOUT ME

I'm a researcher with the LOGOS Group at the Philosophy Department of the University of Barcelona.

Between 2014 and 2016, I was a Marie Curie Research Fellow with the Law & Philosophy research group of the University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. Previously, I held appointments at the Universities of Lisbon, Barcelona and Maryland - University College Europe.

​I received my PhD in Philosophy from Stirling. I also studied at the Universities of Lisbon (BA/Licenciatura), and St. Andrews (MLitt in the St. Andrews-Stirling postgraduate programme).

I specialize in philosophy of language,  and have interests in metaphysics, philosophical logic, metaethics, feminist philosophy, and legal and political philosophy. My recent work focuses on disagreement, retraction, epistemic and deontic modals, ​pejoratives, dispositionalism about value, shifting concepts,  social categories and social construction, and on how political speech motivates social action. You'd be wrong to assume that there's no relation between these topics!

On this site you can find my CV, links to my publications (some for download), information on the research projects I'm involved in, and teaching materials for my courses. In the events section, you find news and some discussion about recent or upcoming events.

  • I am one of the co-authors and signatories of this declaration by philosophers working in Catalonia, condemning violence and  any unilateral declarations or actions in in the region, and calling for dialogue and a political resolution to the crisis.. We are deeply concerned with the current Catalan situation, and would like to make public our declaration for the need to reduce the dangerous escalation of actions and emotions at this critical point.
