Biography

• B.A. Hons. (Specialist in Philosophy), University of Toronto
• M.A. (Philosophy: Political and Legal Thought), Queen's University

Jessica's PhD research seeks to understand how human language might facilitate or inhibit our moral receptivity to non-human others and the environment, bringing together Wittgenstein's later thought with Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology. Her past graduate work interrogated the metaphysics and politics of moral agency in corporate bodies. She continues to write on political philosophy as it concerns environmental ethics.
