Since September 2021 I doing my PhD in History and Philosophy of Science at the Pence Lab.
I study how the concept of ‘biodiversity’ is operationalised outside the sciences, namely how different communities of actors (scientific advocacy groups, policy-makers, NGO’s, local communities) understand and manage the biodiversity crisis. I am particularly interested in the knowledge circulation between science and politics, and the transformations in the meaning of the ‘biodiveristy’ concept.
My PhD is part of a larger HPS project that aims at clarifying the ‘Taxonomic Disorder’ in conservation biology.
