My research

In my research, I have focused primarily on questions relating to ‘truth’ and knowledge. To begin with, I conducted historical research into how female murderers are judged in criminal courts. I am currently conducting research into knowledge about plants. What do we know about plants, and why do we believe that what we know is true? Where and how do we learn what we know? Are there any completely different ideas, thoughts, concepts or philosophies regarding what we mean by non-human living beings?
