Suki is a Research Fellow on the project 'Better Understanding the Metaphysics of Pregnancy' (BUMP) at the University of Southampton.

Before coming to Southampton, Suki was an Associate Lecturer at the University of York and a Research Associate at University College Dublin and the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. Suki did her PhD at the University of York and was a Visiting Research Scholar at the City University of New York Graduate Center.

On the BUMP project, Suki researches the metaphysical relationship between the foetus and the maternal organism, and how this issue relates to the questions of how many humans there are in a pregnancy and when new humans come into existence.

Outside of the BUMP project, Suki is also interested in metametaphysics and the epistemology of logic, specifically the connections between logic and ontology, and understanding the adoptability of logical rules of inference.

Research project(s)

Better Understanding the Metaphysics of Pregnancy (BUMP): Organisms, Identity, Personhood and Persistence

Pregnancy presents us with fascinating philosophical problems: what, during the pregnancy, is the nature of the relationship between the foetus and the maternal organism? What is the relationship between the pregnant organism and the later baby? And when does one person or organism become two? A 1.2 million Euro research grant from the ERC allows Elselijn Kingma and her research team to address these and other questions in a 5 year research project starting in spring 2016.
