News: Here is an essay on the APA Public Philosophy blog, where I argue that human resilience is ambivalent and should neither be uncritically celebrated nor rejected. I also talk about what it’s like to be a “resilient” Filipina philosopher in the academic contexts of the Global North and in the Philippines.
I have been interviewed / cited (as a philosopher working on nihilism) in a New York Times feature about the treat culture and the global pandemic!
