Bernice Bovenkerk is associate professor at the Social Sciences Group, subdepartment of Communication, Philosophy and Technology of Wageningen University. Bernice Bovenkerk has recently been granted a VIDI grant from the Netherlands Organization of Scientific Research on a project titled ‘Anthropocene Ethics: taking animal agency seriously’. Her research interests concern issues in animal and environmental ethics and political philosophy.
