Nick Brancazio

Independent scholar affiliated with the University of Adelaide and living in Wollongong, Australia. Much of my research has been at the crossroads of enactive and embodied cognition and feminist philosophy of science, looking at the relationship between gender and cognition (e.g. Brancazio 2020, Brancazio 2022). While I still work in this area, I consider myself an enactivism-friendly pluralist rather than a framework-championing enactivist. Some of my most recent work has been critical of enactivism as a research paradigm, and argues that enactivism should instead be thought of as a philosophy of nature (Meyer and Brancazio 2022). I’m also currently pursuing several projects on agency, minimal cognition, and interscale dynamics.
