Teaching

I have taught environmental ethics, philosophical methods, and moral philosophy in the philosophy unit, and sustainable development in Turku School of Economics.

Research

I'm currently working as a postdoc researcher in a project on non-human animals, language, and attitudes, funded by Kone Foundation. In the project, I focus on the relation of ordinary morality and language concerning non-human animals from the perspective of moral demandingness.

My other research interests include space ethics (particularly space settlement ethics and ownership of celestial bodies), environmental ethics, philosophical methodology, and philosophy of sustainability.

I'm also the co-founder and co-coordinator of the Nordic Environmental Ethics Network and NSU Sustainability, Ethics, and the Environment study circle (2024).
