I am an author and a philosopher of mind and psychiatry teaching at Deree – The American College of Greece. Previously, I was a lecturer at the City College of New York and the Hellenic Naval Staff and Command College. I am currently on the editorial board of the cognitive science journal Philosophical Psychology where as of January 2025 I will be taking up the positiion of associate editor. I am also co-director of the Demographics in Philosophy Project which aims to address the underepresentation of women in philosophy and to increase diversity in philosophy departments.
In my research I explore a number of philosophical topics, ranging across the metaphysics of mind (naturalism, emergence and explanation), the philosophy of psychiatry (rationality, mental disorders and the nature of their dependence on the social & physical environment), epistemology, metaphilosophy (the nature of philosophy, women in philosophy and the demographics of philosophy), animal ethics and bioethics. I also try to write for a wider audience whenever I can – both because I enjoy it and because I believe it is important to bring philosophical ideas and philosophical thinking to the public.
Music and chocolate are very important to me, I have a passion for Mongolian history and I used to be in search of the perfect burger, but all that is a different story.
You can find copies of my work on academia.edu or ResearchGate and also follow me on Bluesky or twitter for thoughts on this and that.
