Biography

Belen Pueyo Ibañez is a postdoctoral researcher in the Professorship of Practical Philosophy at ETH Zurich. She has completed her PhD in philosophy at Emory University, where she specialized in moral thinking and the structure of communities. With a strong foundation in political and social thought, Belen’s research interests encompass critical theory, particularly the works of Jürgen Habermas, and American pragmatism, especially as articulated by John Dewey. Belen has been involved in various research projects, including a book focusing on rationality in polarized societies and the socio-affective conditions for collective discourse. Belen has also contributed to academic institutions such as the Justitia Center and the Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities. Her interdisciplinary approach is informed by her extensive background in philosophy and contemporary art history. Belen's educational achievements are complemented by multiple scholarships, including the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship, which facilitated her studies at The New School for Social Research.
