I completed my PhD in philosophy at the University of Alberta in 2023.
My doctoral dissertation is entitled “Sex as a Biological Kind: A Case of Strategic Conceptual Engineering” and is a novel application of conceptual engineering for epistemic and social aims that intersects the history and philosophy of science, metaphysics, value theory and metaphilosophy. I argue for the dual thesis that sex is a biological kind and that humans are in need of a new sex concept.
