Jessica's PhD research seeks to understand how human language might facilitate or inhibit our moral receptivity to non-human others and the environment, bringing together Wittgenstein's later thought with Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology. Her past graduate work interrogated the metaphysics and politics of moral agency in corporate bodies. She continues to write on political philosophy as it concerns environmental ethics.
