Alexandria K. Poole

Hello and Welcome! I am currently Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Twente. My work focuses on urban sustainability and developing avenues for social and environmental justice within education, public discourse, and empowering community engagement with policy and technology for socio-ecological well-being. I serve as analyst, editor and educator.

My primary research interests are developing urban environmental ethics, comparative environmental philosophy, and sustainability discourse at the intersection of technology and values. My teaching emphasizes revisiting the traditional western philosophy canon to expand it so that it addresses gender, class, race, and environmental turns for a more inclusive history while also addressing contemporary issues. Towards this end, I incorporate post-colonial, environmental, critical race and feminist critiques into my teaching and research. In addition to teaching and writing, I provide local workshops, lectures and editorial services for the community. Please explore my website to learn more about my projects and opportunities for engagement.
