معرفی
Claudia Paganini serves as a University Assistant at the Institute for Christian Philosophy, University of Innsbruck, since 2010. Her academic focus spans Animal Ethics, Human-Animal Studies, Media Ethics, and Medical Ethics, critically examining human-animal relationships and challenging anthropocentric dominance frameworks within philosophical discourse.
Her research integrates lived experience with theoretical inquiry through direct engagement with rescued horses (Amie, Shadow, and Shy), whom she saved from slaughter. Paganini emphasizes that animals possess inherent value beyond utilitarian human purposes, applying this perspective through animal-assisted interventions where she brings students to observe equine behavior. This practice grounds abstract ethical concepts in tangible reality while demonstrating her commitment to making academic research accessible and socially relevant.
Dr. Paganini actively bridges theory and public understanding by involving students in stable visits, illustrating how philosophical ethics manifests in real-world human-animal interactions. She maintains this scholarly approach while balancing family life with three children in Natters, Austria, near her birthplace of Innsbruck.
