ABOUT 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, 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 ontology, 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, information on research grants, and teaching materials for my courses. In the events section, you find news and some discussion about recent or upcoming events.

I've found that I've accepted too many commitments. Here are the more pressing things I'm finishing to write:
  1. "Talking of Beauty: Updating the Motivational Set" for a Routledge edited volume (Daan Evers and Louise Hanson are the editors, the volume is Meta-aesthetics).
  2. "Amelioration vs Perversion" for a volume I'm editing with Åsa Wikforss for OUP (Shifting Concepts)
  3. "Really expressive presuppositions and how to filter them", for a special issue of Grazer Philosophischen Studien edited by Bianca Ceppolaro and Dan Zeman.
  4. "The Case Against Semantic Relativism", for the Handbook on Relativism edited by Martin Kusch, for Routledge.
I'm presenting my paper "Dangerous Speech and Collective Action' at the Social Ontology 2018 Conference at Tufts University in August 2018.

I will be teaching Metaethics in the Aphil master at the University of Barcelona during the first semester 2017/2018.

Last academic year, I convened a reading group on Value Talk.

I also convened a lunchtime reading group on Kate Manne's Down Girl: the Logic of Misogyny. Highly recommend her book!

Interuniversity workshop Mind, Art, and Morality Language & Power organized with Esa Díaz León in May 22-23 at the University of Barcelona.  

I presented my paper "Amelioration vs Perversion" in the Legal Theory Festival in the University of Edinburgh in June 2018, also at the Valencia Philosophy Lab Colloquium in May 2018.

And I was a discussant at the Symposium on Kate Manne's book Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny  organized by Vera Tripodi and Carlotta Pavese, in June 2018..
