Outreach Activities

Since I carry out research on many topics in applied ethics and applied political philosophy, I regularly engage in outreach activities through conferences for the general public, press articles and interviews, and television and radio debates. I believe that it is crucial to engage with the public by discussing on urgent ethical and political problems, such as climate change, technological innovation, and animal welfare.

Here are three short videos in which I present my reseach on climate justice and climate ethics:
