I'm Emilie! I do philosophy. I finished a PhD (from the University of Texas at Austin) in 2023. Now I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Victoria. I'm working with Mike Raven. Incidentally, the island is brimming with ravens. Here's my C.V..
Currently, my research concerns the metaphysics of social groups. (Fact: a group of ravens is called "an unkindness.") 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.)
If you'd like to talk about things like that, do get in touch!
