Hi!

![]() Hi! I am Viktoria, a philosopher at Technische Universität Dresden, Germany.
My research focuses on topics in feminist philosophy, the philosophy of language, metaphilosophy, and metaphysics. I am a board member of SWIP Germany. I have recently published papers on the normativity of gender, merely verbal disputes and metalinguistic negotiations. You can find my research here and on my PhilPeople account. My book (in German, open access) develops an interpretation of the personal identity debate as a merely verbal dispute. After finishing my PhD at Universität Hamburg in the fall of 2020, I started my position as an assistant professor/lecturer ("wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin") in Dresden (fixed-term position). Before coming to Dresden, I was an assistant professor/lecturer at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. I have also spent some time abroad, visiting ConceptLab, Oslo, and Arché, St. Andrews. I am a first generation academic, my family runs a bakery. Besides philosophy, I love tea, wine, whiskey and vegan cooking. I also enjoy reading and gardening, and I care a lot about animal rights. (I have a cat called Flensburger.) My partner Moritz is also a philosopher. You can check him out here. |
