Josephine (Jojo) received her BA in philosophy and mathematics from Vassar College. She specializes in metaphysics, feminist philosophy, and social philosophy, and is especially interested in the intersection of these three areas. Her dissertation is on the metaphysics of social kinds and explores topics such as projectibility, identity and change, social construction, and context-sensitivity. In 2025-26, Jojo is the project assistant at the Institute for Research in the Humanities. When she is not spending a concerning amount of time thinking about social structures, you can find her reluctantly training for a half marathon, sending podcast-length voice memos, exploring Madison’s thrift stores, and bothering Liam and Kate with logic questions.
