About


I’m a PhD candidate and junior faculty member (Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin) at Humboldt University in Berlin. Prior to this, I studied philosophy and music in Heidelberg, Berlin (Humboldt University and University of Arts), and Oxford.

My primary interests lie in social and political philosophy, feminism, and epistemology (and their various intersections). I’m particularly interested in the family and feminist critiques of the family.
