Philosopher of Language and Mind
I’m interested in languaging as something we do. From a radical enactive-ecological perspective I investigate different aspects of languaging, such as the nature of linguistic knowledge and the ontogenetic origins of linguistic content.
I successfully defended my PhD thesis Talking about Talking – An Ecological-Enactive Perspective on Language in June 2019. I’m currently a postdoc in the group of Erik Rietveld where I work on extending the Skilled Intentionality Framework to language.
