I'm Emilie! I'm currently finishing a PhD in philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin. In the Fall of 2023, I'll be a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Victoria (with Mike Raven and Kathrin Koslicki). Here's my C.V..
Currently, my research concerns the metaphysics of social groups. I'm interested in what it is for a collection of individuals to be a group rather than a mere collection of individuals, what it is for an individual to be a member of a group, and in the relationship between groups and the social systems in which they're embedded. I've become especially interested in why groups matter, if they do. (Spoiler: they do.)
