Academic Background
My research falls at the intersection of Critical Social Theory and Social Epistemology, but with specific attention to Decolonial and Feminist Critique.
​
I have an AB (2012) and MA (2016) in Philosophy from the University of Santo Tomas, Manila, and a PhD (2023) in Philosophy from the University College Dublin (UCD), under the primary supervision of Professor Maeve Cooke, and secondary supervision of Professors Brian O'Connor and Danielle Petherbridge.
My PhD research is titled: "Epistemic Paralysis and Non-recognition: The Case of (Mis)education". It was funded by the Government of Ireland - Irish Research Council (IRC), the University of the Philippines (UP), and UCD. My examiners were Professors Katherine O'Donnell (UCD) and Linda Martín Alcoff (CUNY).
​
In 2022, I also did a research visit at the City University of New York (CUNY), sponsored by Professor Miranda Fricker, and at Freie Universität Berlin (FUB), sponsored by Professor Robin Celikates. I also had the chance to attend the classes of and consult with Professors Linda Martín Alcoff (CUNY) and Axel Honneth (Columbia), as well as attend the different talks by and workshops on Professor Nancy Fraser's (New School) work, while research visiting.
​
I am a founding member of the Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) UCD chapter, the Transnationalising the Humanities (TNH)-PhD Network, Women Doing Philosophy (Philippines), and the Critical Political Epistemology Network. I was also the editor-in-chief of Perspectives: UCD Postgraduate Journal of Philosophy ,Volume 9: Special Issue in Social Philosophy.
​
I am currently employed as an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of the Philippines Baguio. Previously, I served as a Teaching Fellow in UCD School of Philosophy after my PhD.
