She is particularly interested in time, including its role in cognition, its relationship to power, and how it has been conceptualised in different philosophical traditions. She also likes thinking about biology, death, gender, horror and metaphilosophy.
They discuss the relationship between transhumanism and enactivism, ranging across organisational integrity, embodiment, and precarity.
