EMILY CICHOCKI

Doctoral Student;
Department of Philosophy, Western University

I am a doctoral student in philosophy at Western University. I moved here from California after completing BAs in Philosophy and English at California State University, San Bernardino. My research is primarily in the area of feminist moral psychology. Most of my work centers on the concepts of interdependence, complicity, justice, gender, queerness, friendship, and solidarity.

In addition to my research, in 2020-21 I served as Gender Equity Chair on the Executive Committee for PSAC Local 610 Union of TAs and Post-Docs and continue to be involved with my union. My passion for labor activism is an extension of my appreciation for justice, interdependence, and mutual aid.

My current research focuses on analyzing complicity in systemic and interpersonal social harms and also on understanding solidarity as a means for resistance to oppression. I am also working on a project about epistemic interdependence and self-trust/self-respect and on a collaborative project about AI, algorithms, and social injustice.
