Research Project: “Natural Purposiveness in Islamic Thought: Mullā Ṣadrā on Nature’s Agency”

This project explores how an Islamic vision of a conscious, purpose-driven natural world is articulated in the Islamic philosophical tradition. It focuses in particular on an interpretation of Mullā Ṣadrā (d. 1640), whose philosophical system elaborates on rethinking nature as a purposive, intelligent order in which all beings participate actively in their own movement toward perfection. The guiding question is: How does Ṣadrā explain a philosophical system which allows us to imagine nature not as a passive arena for human action, but as a living, dynamic whole, animated by inner awareness and directed toward its own ends? And what ethical implications for our understanding of the human–nature relationship might this reconfiguration carry, especially when contrasted with more anthropocentric models rooted in Islamic theology?

About: I am an early career social scientist from Cyprus. I recently completed my PhD in Government

and International Relations at Durham University, where I was an A.G. Leventis Scholar in the School of Government and International Affairs. My doctoral research examined the intersection between vulnerability, austerity and refugee resettlement, focusing on the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme in the North East of England. I am now in the process of adapting this research into publications, as well as look into ways I can offer insight into the practice of resettlement contributing to the support and improvement of the everyday living experiences of refugee communities.

Research Project: Making Peace with Nature: Confidence, Trust, and the Political Psychology of Climate Diplomacy. 

Climate science has made the stakes unmistakably clear. The remaining challenge is political. How can states build trust and sustain cooperation under deep uncertainty? Why do some climate negotiations collapse while others produce breakthrough agreements?

This project examines how leader confidence and trust dynamics shape cooperation in climate diplomacy. Drawing on political psychology and research on advice utilisation, I argue that miscalibrated confidence, what I call the “Confidence Trap,” distorts how leaders interpret evidence, incorporate expert advice, and signal commitment. Overconfident leaders may dismiss credible counsel and overpromise. Underconfident leaders may hesitate and signal unreliability. Both patterns weaken trust.

Through comparative case studies of major negotiations such as Copenhagen, Paris, and Glasgow, as well as analysis of China’s role in climate diplomacy, the project investigates how calibrated confidence, trusted chairs, and epistemic communities enable durable cooperation and shared norms.

By integrating in-depth case analysis with experimental design, the research offers theoretical and practical insights into how diplomacy can move beyond tactical bargaining toward sustained trust-building. Achieving peace with nature requires scientific knowledge, political will, and carefully calibrated judgment. It requires rethinking the psychological foundations of cooperation itself.

About: Wendy He is an interdisciplinary scholar of international relations whose research bridges political psychology, international security, and diplomatic history. Her work examines how leaders and advisers assess credibility, escalation risk, and restraint under conditions of uncertainty, developing a psychological framework that explains how confidence calibration and trust dynamics shape foreign policy decision-making. She is currently developing a book project, The Confidence Trap, which advances this framework to explain how miscalibrated confidence distorts advice utilisation, trust, and cooperation in high-stakes negotiations.

She is a Global Encounters Fellow at the University of Tübingen, where she applies this framework to climate diplomacy, examining how confidence distortions and advice utilisation shape trust, cooperation, and norm formation in climate negotiations. She was a Hans J. Morgenthau Fellow in Grand Strategy at the Notre Dame International Security Center from 2024 to 2025 and was awarded the prestigious Singapore Social Science Research Council Graduate Research Fellowship in support of her postdoctoral research at Tübingen. 

In 2026, she received the Carl Beck Award at the International Studies Association, an annual award presented for an outstanding graduate student paper in International Studies, with special recognition for originality and innovation in engaging traditional concerns or emerging international problems. She was also the recipient of the 2025 Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society Graduate Paper Award for her paper on leader-adviser dynamics, confidence, and the assessment of threat credibility in foreign policy decision-making.

Her broader research agenda explores how cognitive and relational dynamics shape cooperation across both traditional security crises and global challenges such as climate change.

Research Project: Law and Fiction (grant doi: 10.55776/J4887)

Fictions within legal theory and practice have populated the law from Pretorian legal practice to today. They are particular frequent in tax law and international tax treaties, but encompass all areas of the law, from contract law to public international law. Though deriving from Roman civil law, legal fictions were important tools in the history of human rights, from the inception of a ius gentium to the age of colonization. Unsurprisingly, both legal scholars and literary authors have discussed legal fictions, their merits and their discontents. Depite the long history of a theorization and practice of legal fictions, the understanding of these fictions is not up to date anymore. The project sees the cause of this development in a stagnation of the ongoing transfer of knowledge between law, philosophy and the humanities during the second half of the 20th century. This stagnation had a double consequence: First, the consciousness of the law of the nature of these fictions has ceased, including the dangers of legal fictions, leading to highly problematic laws and court decisions that range from asylum law to tax law. Second, this stagnation has led to problems of jurisprudence when dealing with works of fictional literature as object of their rulings. This project aims at countering the latter development by reviving the transfer of knowledge between the three disciplines.

Publications: His most recent book “Legal Fictions” is to appear with Routledge.

Activities at the College of Fellows: During my time in Tübingen, I will be a part of the focus groups in IRex called “Far Right Threats” and “Everyday Extremism”. I will be part of regular discussions and work across these units and will also be working on the analysis and writing for my book-in-progress on gendered social divides among Gen Z and Gen Alpha, to be published in both English and German. I will also participate in and/or lead several workshops and shorter events, including public talks, interactive sessions and research insights with local practitioners, policy roundtables, and two workshops (in summer 2026 and in fall 2026):

• Workshop on Everyday Extremism and Normalization (June or July 2026): Uniting scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to examine the cultural dimensions of the rise and normalization of far-right ideologies beyond formal (electoral) politics. During this workshop, participants present and discuss their own research on everyday life extremism. They develop a joint perspective for further collaborative research. As one outcome, a joint publication, e.g. a research note, is envisioned. As a second step, joint efforts to apply for research grants can be based on the results of the workshop.
• Workshop on Cross-Disciplinary Dialogues on Democratic Resilience (October 2026): Bringing together scholars, activists, and public officials to discuss strategies for strengthening social cohesion. Strengthening democracy requires transforming knowledge into action. Building on the results of the first workshop, which focused on bringing together academic researchers, this second workshop will explore innovative formats and social interventions by fostering collaboration between scholars, activists, and public officials to discuss ways to enhance social cohesion. 

There will be substantial other outcomes during my stay, including short essays that I will publish in mainstream media publications and additional meetings with faculty and students from across the university and the region.

Research Project: “Friends in Thought: Aristotle and Confucius on the Ethical Meaning of Friendship.” 

My research project explores connections between the ethical thought of Aristotle and Confucius on the nature of friendship and its role in moral development. It will argue that both thinkers share a conception of friendship as essentially aimed at shared activity with friends and a conception of moral development that emphasizes habituation. It will then appeal to these shared conceptions to explain why both thinkers saw friendship as an important tool for moral development. According to both thinkers, friendship has the power to shape our moral character, for better or for worse.

Investigating Ecological Hopefulness in Lusophone Cultures:

During my 1-year position as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Tübingen, I am inspired by this year’s Global Encounters Fellowship theme of ‘making peace with nature’ to research how literature and the arts can inspire hope at a time of human-made environmental crisis. Building on my background in Lusophone studies and my ecocritical collaborations with Dr Dorothée Boulanger (University of Oxford), I am currently building a panorama of cultural expressions of eco-optimism that emerge specifically in Portuguese-speaking contexts, namely Portugal and Brazil – where Indigenous languages and cosmologies provide additional critical counterpoints. Every culture’s storehouse of ecological wisdom and accompanying toolkit for green politics evolve in response to (and even in co-authorship with) local climates, landscapes, ecosystems, and species. Disseminated more widely, Portuguese, Brazilian, and Indigenous artists’ own unique solutions to the problems of climate change, environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss can provide the global community with fresh ways of imagining an eco-utopian ‘counterapocalypse’ (Joanna Zylinska, 2018) worth striving for.

In this vein, as my new and evolving research project begins to take shape (under its more precise title of Eco-Utopias of the ‘We-Earth’—The Multi-Species Co-Authoring of Culture in Portugal & Brazil), I will be exploring how Portuguese- and Indigenous language-speaking writers, filmmakers, and visual artists engage hopefully and reciprocally with other species in order to imagine solidaristic futures beyond the purely human. Examining a range of cultural objects co-authored in partnership with the biodiverse species of the Lusophone world, I am looking to redress anthropocentric narratives that prioritise exclusively human understandings of cultural creation, the future, and ecological catastrophe. By focusing on multi-species collaborations between cultural practitioners and the ‘more-than-human’, I mobilise ecocriticism alongside critical animal studies, plant philosophy, and queer ecologies to celebrate the forms of conviviality, expressivity, and artistry that only a biodiverse world can sustain. (I borrow the term ‘more-than-human’ from David Abram’s book The Spell of the Sensuous, from 1996: for a succinct explanation of its meaning, origins, and evolution, please see this collection edited by César Rodríguez-Garavito in 2024).

My stay in Tübingen equally represents an opportunity for me to revisit my DPhil thesis (Unruly Daughters: Complications of Epic and Identity in 20th and 21st Century Portuguese Women’s Poetry), which examined the critique of Portuguese canonical literature and national identity offered by modern Portuguese women poets, in order to expand upon its eco-feminist conclusions.

In parallel, I am looking forward to disseminating my collaborative work with Professor Cláudia Pazos-Alonso on translating the poetry of Natália Correia (1923-1993) into English. Soon to be published by Shantarin, the bilingual collection Song of Emerging Homeland and Other Poems seeks to show how this Azorean surrealist poet and philosopher of eco-matriarchy, who dreamt of ‘rewilding the world with roses’, may help us to revitalise our ecological hopefulness today.

About: Having completed my DPhil in Medieval and Modern Languages (Portuguese) in 2023 at the University of Oxford, with a thesis entitled ‘Unruly Daughters: complications of epic and identity in 20^th and 21^st century Portuguese women’s poetry’, I carried my love of eco-feminist women’s writing into my teaching practice with a stipendiary lectureship at Oxford’s sub-faculty of Portuguese. More recently, I have convened a module on masculinities (‘A Cultural Analysis of Swagger: Representing Performative Masculinities in Literature and the Arts') and supervised master's dissertations for Oxford's MSt in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. 

With Dr Dorothée Boulanger, I run an ongoing research project entitled ‘Luso-Ecologies’ which focuses on ecocritical approaches to Lusophone cultural production. In this vein, I am now using my Global Encounters Fellowship at the University of Tübingen to investigate how literature and the arts – with case studies from Portugal and Brazil – can help with combatting eco-anxiety, generating active hope for a greener and more biodiverse planet.
