Dr. Gen Eickers

My research is located at the intersections of philosophy of mind, social epistemology, and social ontology. I work interdisciplinarily, combining philosophy with research and methods from sociology, psychology, and trans/queer studies. I specialize in research on emotion, social cognition, scripts, gender / trans philosophy, and social construction.

My current research work focuses on: scripts in social interaction and social cognition, emotional marginalization, social construction of emotions, (digital) social practices, social media experiences of trans and queer people.
