Nominator's project description

Professor Kukla is internationally well-known for her outstanding work in social epistemology, bioethics and the philosophy of the applied sciences, particularly medicine and geography. Integrating traditional core themes in analytic philosophy with issues of high socio-political importance reflects the unusual breadth of her research. During her stay in Germany, she continues her studies on cartography, geographic information systems and the visual representation of data as well as her research on linguistic pragmatics and socially potent speech.
