Simona Capisani is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University and received her PhD in Philosophy from the University of California, Irvine. Her research and teaching interests are in political philosophy and ethics (both normative and applied) with a special interest in issues that intersect climate justice, global justice, gender, and environmental philosophy. Her work provides a new normative framework for thinking about the moral and political challenges that emerge for the international territorial state system under conditions of climate change. In particular, Simona’s current research focuses on climate change-induced displacement and its relationship to territorial sovereignty and the international protection regime. Simona has served as an International Organizer for Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) and has contributed to a number of programs which develop and provide resources aimed at combating exclusionary practices in research and teaching in Philosophy. She has a specialization in inclusive pedagogy and is committed to advancing and supporting members of marginalized groups both within and beyond academia. As ISEE’s Mentoring Director, Simona oversees the development of various programs and resources aimed at building a more inclusive, equitable, and diverse community in the fields of environmental ethics and environmental justice and within ISEE itself. She invites sustained ISEE member participation in the program and provides structural support and encouragement of active engagement with such work.
