POSTDOC

Picture - Jules Salomone

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Research in Ethics where I am affiliated with McGill University and supervised by Amandine Catala (UQAM) and Natalie Stoljar (McGill). I received my PhD in 2021 under the supervision of Miranda Fricker (City University of New York) and Sacha Bourgeois-Gironde (École Normale Supérieure) as part of a co-supervision agreement between The Graduate Center (CUNY) and the Institut Jean Nicod (ENS). An alumnus of the École Normale Supérieure (Paris), I hold a Master's degree in philosophy (Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne) as well as a Master's degree in economics (École d'Économie de Paris, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales).

Some of my work has been published (or is forthcoming) in Ethics, Routledge, La Découverte and Presses Universitaires de France. I am also the producer of We The Pupils, a podcast that explores issues of racial and social justice.

My work lies at the intersection of ethics, action theory, and social philosophy, with a focus on agency and responsibility in a conflicted and unjust world. In my doctoral thesis, I focused on shared agency, cooperation, and cooperativity. I am now pursuing two projects that have their roots in my doctoral research. On the one hand, I am exploring the notion of shared responsibility, and more specifically that of complicity, in light of my theory of shared agency. On the other hand, I am looking at individual agency and, in particular, at the truncated agency that our non-ideal world often encourages.
