I am a postdoctoral researcher under the Jr. Professorship of Political Philosophy, University of Bayreuth. My theoretical and geographical journey with children and childhood in India, Italy, Norway and Germany has led to a hybrid nomadic sensibility in my contribution to childism research. The objective of my doctoral work was suggesting a childist perspective for the pedagogy of philosophy in response to the overheated era of Anthropocene neoliberalism. Previously, I worked with monastic childhoods, collective living with infants and voluntary simplicity. I am particularly interested in exploring the philosophical richness that children and childhood have to offer adults. In this vein my post doctoral project considers contemporary children's civil disobedience (Thunberg's School Strikes) as a call for rethinking the adult-child asymmetry.
