Ben Mylius

Ben Mylius completed his Ph.D. in Environmental Political Theory at Columbia and his LLM at Yale Law School after his undergraduate studies in Australia. His work explores how climate change and emerging tech challenge inherited ideas about politics, ethics, and imagination. At the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society, Ben is developing a book-length project on the tools communities can use to imagine just, resilient, and dynamic climate futures. This project builds on his dissertation research (On Human Separatism) and his practical experience as founder of the Columbia Climate Imaginations Network. 

Ben is also Interdisciplinary Ethics Fellow in partnership with the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, where he works on projects and initiatives linking environmental thought, storytelling, and the social impacts of emerging technologies.
