research profile and cv
My research covers different areas of moral philosophy, including moral psychology and meta-ethics. I am interested in how we acquire moral knowledge (and what it is), the role of intuition and perception in morality, and what motivates us to act, or what prevents us from acting, in particular ways. My work on these questions is often applied to specific issues that worry me: how we as humans live with, and think about, other animals; our possible relationships with nature; and various forms of discrimination. There, I like to look at the intersection of the moral, imaginative, existential, political, and sometimes mystical dimensions. For the past years I have been thinking about attention and its ethical dimension (now, finally, I have a book to prove it).
Before studying philosophy I did research in English and comparative literature, linguistics and translation. I used to publish under the name ‘Silvia Panizza’, until I decided that I wanted to and should have my mother’s surname (and here's a blog post about it). I am the leader of the Vegan Studies Network (VSN), an international multi-disciplinary network devoted to developing and connecting research, teaching, and public engagement on the possibilities, reasons, and challenges of a world without animal exploitation – goodness, how I wish such a world were possible.
