Outreach and activism
Trans related:
Science is getting unfreer every week in the US, and trans people as well as many others are not safe there. This has recently been recognized also in an open letter by the American Philosophical Association – signed by Amy Kind, Rebecca Copenhaver and many more. Help trans researchers who want to leave the US and other authoritarian countries find jobs in Europe by joining these groups: https://t.me/+fsGWbLpN0U42ZjVk (Telegram), https://discord.gg/gBkdnyM3Xp (Discord). Check options for opportunity hiring at your university now.
I share some of my experiences being a trans (analytic, early career) philosopher in the zine ‘Being trans in philosophy‘, edited by Ding & Willow Starr.
I host the informal mailing list GeTLLI (genderqueer and trans in logic, language and information). Send me an e-mail if you would like to be added to the mailing list.
Stephanie Evert has a good basic introduction to transness on her website. Talia Mae Bettcher’s substack “Into the darkness” rebutes anti-trans arguments philosophically.
Please cite all of my work using my current name, Emil Eva Rosina, E.E. Rosina, or (for older stuff, if needed) E. Rosina.
Autism related:
I gave a course on neurodivergence in academic and medical contexts at the ‘Vernetzungstreffen der Kritischen Medizin’ on Nov. 23rd in Cologne; and an online Lunchtalk titled ‘Performing productivity and performing neurotype – autistic masking in university contexts’ on Oct. 27th (invited by UNIFY, University of Heidelberg).
Maja Hoffmann wrote an article (in German) about my 2024 talk ‘Autistisch sein und Versagen in der akademischen Welt’ (organized by Campus Neurodivers RUB) in the BSZ that can be accessed here.
Other:
In 2024 and 2025, I gave career+outreach presentations to high school students gendered as girls as a part of the SFB 1315’s “Girlsday”.
Non-linguists finally understand what I am working on thanks to this article by Meike Drießen in the Rubin magazine.
Snippets of my past
My linguistic MA thesis (supervision: Viola Schmitt) introduces and partially solves a puzzle on conversational backgrounds of good-predications. It can be accessed here. It has lead to a talk and many notes/manuscrips on possible hierarchies of Kratzerian Ordering Sources, but I still consider much of this project open.
I also have a high school teaching degree and have tought German as a native, second, and foreign language. The narratological MA-equivalent thesis of my teaching degree was about metafictionality and can be found here (in German language).
I have done some student representative and political work in Vienna which has led to this book (in German language) on working conditions in Austrian Holocaust education.
I owe a lot of my philosophical background to the Vienna Forum for Analytic Philosophy and their easy-access possibility to present ideas and work in progress.
