Maki Sato
BIO
Maki is a Project Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo, East Asian Academy for New Liberal Arts. She concurrently holds a position at the Humanities Center. Maki is interested in environmental philosophy, which includes a new emerging set of skills and ideas not limited to AI, robotics, and digital currencies. However, her main interest has been in issues surrounding climate change, especially environmental and energy policies seen from a philosophical perspective. Her experience as a consultant for the Green Growth project at the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) in Bangkok encouraged her to dedicate her doctoral research to environmental philosophy, focusing on the implications of ideas derived from environmental philosophy for innovative and effective global environmental policies. Between 2015 and 2016, she was a Yale Fox International Fellow.
At THE NEW INSTITUTE Maki is working on themes related to “The Human Condition in the 21st Century“.
