SARAH ARNAUD
Postdoctoral Associate;
Rotman Institute of Philosophy, Western University
I’m a Postdoctoral Associate at the Rotman Institute of Philosophy at Western University. I am supervised by Jackie Sullivan. In 2021, I was a postdoc fellow at the University of Antwerp, supervised by Bence Nanay, before that, a postdoc at the Canada Research Chair on Epistemic Injustice and Agency, at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) (2020), supervised by Amandine Catala, and before that, a postdoc at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY) (2018-2020), under the supervision of Jesse Prinz. I completed my Ph.D. in philosophy at UQAM and Paris- Sorbonne, in 2018, under the supervision of Luc Faucher and Daniel Andler.
My research interests lie in the area of philosophy of psychology and psychiatry, and philosophy of mind, mainly on emotion, consciousness, and autism. My current research focuses primarily on unconscious emotions, self-consciousness, the relations between emotion and perception.
