Maarit Heikura

---

Maarit joined MetaScience as an Erasmus+ intern whilst pursuing her Master’s degree in philosophy at Tampere University, Finland. 

In spring 2022 Maarit graduated with her bachelor’s degree. In her thesis, she studied questions of mind independence and objectivity in the context of metaphysical realism and objective representation of external reality. In her master’s thesis, she aims to dig deeper into mind independence and its relation to metaphysical realism. 

In her internship, Maarit conducted the MetaViews interview series with the project team about their publications and current research. She was also part of the organising team for our Kinds of Kinds workshop, and was involved in other ad hoc events and communications projects.
