Biographie

I am associate professor at the department of Philosophy and School of Environment, McGill University, since 2007. I received my PhD from the University of Chicago in 1997, where I completed a project named « Conceptual Foundations of Science ».I do trans-disciplinary research on the patterns, causes, consequences, and value of biodiversity. This research has led to publications in the fields of community ecology, philosophy of science, nature poetry, ecological economics, and environmental ethics.
