Areas of responsibility
In April I defended my dissertation, titled "Citizen Initiatives for Global Solidarity and the Ethics of Participatory Ownership", which combines philosophical theories and ethical reflections on global solidarity with empirical data on the work being done by small-scale development organizations in different contexts. This is a field that I intend to continue researching and I am also exploring the possibilities for new projects connected to cosmopolitanism, Ethiopian journalists in exile, and emotional labor.
