Before joining the faculty at Tilburg, I was associate professor of philosophy and director of the Graduate Program in Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago (US). I received a PhD in philosophy from the Institute of Philosophy at KU Leuven (Belgium).
My philosophical research has focused on the history of phenomenology (primarily the work of Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau-Ponty) and on the topics of attention, ignorance, and embodied agency as they are discussed in phenomenology, feminist epistemology, critical philosophy of race, social epistemology, and contemporary philosophy of art.
In my current research, I focus on topics and issues in critical neurodiversity studies from a phenomenological perspective. Besides philosophical work in this area, I am engaged in empirical research on how to promote accessibility in the workplace and in education:
