Online Sexual Ethics

About


I am a philosopher specialising in online sexual ethics and the moral-epistemic challenges of digital intimacy. I completed my PhD in Philosophy at Stellenbosch University, where I developed a framework for sexual moral knowledge in online contexts. My research focuses on online sexual agency, technology-facilitated gender-based violence, and the ethical implications of sexual AI. I’m active in academic community-building at Stellenbosch, assisting and tutoring in our Department of Philosophy. Outside academia, I love music, reading, and spending time with friends and family, and other activities that are refreshingly free of AI companions.
