ABOUT

INTERESTS

I am working in the broad field of the History and Philosophy of Ideas, but focusing specifically on the narrower sub-field of Darwinism and its socio-philosophical implications.

In recent years, I have combined the philosophical study of Darwinism with Computational Corpus Linguistics methodologies. My aim has been to take a deeper look at Darwin’s language and, thus, to be able to draw stronger conclusions about the conceptual heritage we have received from Darwinism, which is a constitutive pillar of the contemporary scientific worldview.

CURRENTLY

After two years of research as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Leeds (UK), School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science, Centre for History and Philosophy of Science, I am now a lecturer at the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU), attached to the Philosophy Department in San Sebastián (Spain), Facultad de Educación, Filosofía y Antropología.

I’m currently teaching undergraduate subjects at the Facultad de Relaciones Laborales y Trabajo Social, Campus of Álava and Facultad de Educación, Filosofía y Antropología, Campus of Guipúzcoa.

I am Executive Secretary of the biannual International Ontology Congress.

I am senior member of iHPS-Research research group.

Former memberships and collaborations: 1) postdoctoral fellow at IAS-Research. Centre for Life, Mind and Society (University of the Basque Country). 2) Collaborator at The Applied Evolutionary Epistemology Lab (University of Lisbon)
