Corrado Sinigaglia
Affiliate, Philosophy
Visiting Scholar, PhilosophyBioI am a full Professor of Philosophy of Science at the University of Milan (Italy) and I am also leading the Cognition in Action Lab (http://cialab.unimi.it/). I have been at University of Milan since 2001 when I was appointed as Assistant Professor there. Before that I studied at the University of Leuven (1992-1993), at the Ecole Normale Superiéure of Paris (1994), and at the University of Genova (1995-1999), where I got my PhD in Philosophy of Science. I received several grants, including the BIAL Foundation Grant Program (2018-2020), the PRIN (2017-2020), the British Academy / Leverhulme Small Grant (2013-2015), and the Multi-Research Grant Action (Fondazione San Paolo, Torino) (2009-2012).
The overarching goal of my research is to integrate philosophy with cognitive neuroscience. I have extensively investigated the role of motor processes and representations in social cognition. My current research is aimed at explaining how motor representation meshes with intention, and more in general with thought, in performing both individual and joint action. A related question concerns how motor processes and representations might be involved in our making experience of the environment, other people included.
I am author and co-author of three books, about forty papers in peer reviewed journals, and fifteen chapters in edited books. I have published papers in philosophical (PPPR, Mind), psychological (Cognition, TICS) and neuroscientific (Nature Neuroscience Review, PNAS) journals. -

Ann Thresher
Postdoctoral Scholar, Philosophy
BioAnn C Thresher is an applied ethicist working as part of the new school for sustainability at Stanford University. She received her PhD from the University of California, San Diego, working in the philosophy of science and environmental-ethics, and has two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Sydney, one in Philosophy and one in Physics. She was a graduate fellow at the Institute for Applied Ethics at UC San Diego, and a 2022 Heinrich Hertz fellow at the University of Bonn.
Her work focuses on emerging environmental technologies and, in particular, what risks we’re warranted in taking to solve environmental crises. As part of this, she works extensively with scientists and policy-makers to help identify and solve the ethics questions that arise out of their work. Current projects include papers on gene-drives, modelling, moratoriums, geo-engineering, and our obligations to future generations. She is also interested in the philosophy of space science and expansion and is currently working on the ethical problems of telescope siting as part of the Next Generation Event Horizon Telescope's HPC working group.
