Laura Silva​

About Me
​
I am Assistant Professor at Université Laval, Quebec (CA), in the Department of Political Science. I am a philosopher working primarily at the intersections of moral psychology and feminist philosophy, on the nature and value of emotion for our moral and political lives. I also have research interests in philosophy of mind, epistemology and philosophy of psychology. 

My work is often empirically informed in two distinct senses: I strive to take social reality seriously, and I engage with experimental work in the brain and behavioral sciences. 

I completed my PhD in Philosophy in 2019, on 'The Rationality of Anger', at University College London. To learn more about my research, teaching, wider-audience writing and outreach efforts use the tabs above. 

Before taking up my position at Université Laval I was: 
 - Banting Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre de Recherche en Éthique, associated with the University of Montreal and McGill University.
- Leverhulme Postdoctoral Fellow at the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences, University of Geneva, with the Thumos Research Group.
- ERC Postdoctoral Fellow with Bence Nanay's group at the Center for Philosophical Psychology, University of Antwerp.
​
My research has been funded by the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Leverhulme Trust, the European Research Council, the AHRC London Arts and Humanities Research Partnership, UCL's Cross-disciplinary Scholarship for further training in the Brain and Behavioral sciences and Yale University.
