Short presentation

I'm a lecturer in aesthetics. In that field, my interests include the relation(s) between art(s) and imagination, the relevance of aesthetic norms and practices to genders, expression theory, and electronic dance music. I also work on the philosophy of mind, especially imagination, and the philosophy of race and gender.

I joined the department in Uppsala in August 2019. I've previously worked in Antwerp, Auburn, Porto Alegre, and Leeds. My PhD is from the University of Miami.
