Daphne Brandenburg is an Assistant Professor in Applied Ethics, at the University of Groningen.
Her work critically analyses how research in psychology and the cognitive sciences has bearing on ethical questions about autonomy, consent, and responsibility. Do implicit biases undermine our autonomy? When does a child become responsible and why? How might a mental health condition mitigate culpability? When and why is praise patronizing? And, what do the answers to these questions imply for society, criminal justice, and therapy? These are some of the key questions she has addressed in her work.
She also has an interest in the philosophy of emotions and in the ethics of humor.

If you are interested in doing a Philosophy or PPE MA in Groningen and want to chat, please feel free to get in touch!
If you are a (prospective) PhD student who is interested in my areas of research, please get in touch with me. Unfortunately, there is very little institutional funding available at this moment in Groningen, but if there are possibilities to apply for a scholarship, there may be opportunities. If you already have a PhD position or scholarship, it is sometimes possible to do a joint supervision arrangement with another university ("co-tutelle") or arrange a research visit. Do not hesitate to ask!
I am very keen on supporting and promoting online workshops and conferences, especially with partners from outside Europe and North America to facilitate truly global cooperation between philosophers. If you work at a university outside the Global North and want to organize an online event, please get in touch with me.
