I was interviewed as part of the CBC’s Podcast IDEAS episode on Climate Reparations. You can check a summary here, together with a link to the program!

My doctoral thesis has received the Luis Díez del Corral 2021 Prize for the best doctoral thesis in political philosophy. This Prize is awarded by the Center for Political and Constitutional Studies, a research center attached to the Ministry of Presidency in Spain. The Prize involves a 4000€ award and the publication of the manuscript (in my case, it will be a translation of my upcoming book in Routledge!)

Today, I signed my first book contract with Routledge!

The book is provisionally entitled ‘Rectifying Climate injustice: Reparations for Loss and Damage’. The book will be published in 2023. A Spanish version will be published with the Center for Political and Constitutional Studies in Spain (CEPS publishing house).

I published the entry ‘Ética y generaciones futuras’ (Ethics and Future Generations) for the Philosophy Encyclopedia of the Spanish Society of Analytic Philosophy. You can find it here:

Ética y generaciones futuras

Recently, I won one of the awards for the Best Early Scholar Conference Papers submitted to the 2021 Conference of the Society for Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science.

The paper is currently under review in a philosophy of science journal. Fingers crossed!

In preparation for COP26, la Caixa invited some of the recipients of their scholarship to an interview. Here are some of our answers:
