#English Special: Self-conscious emotions with Dr. Alba Montes Sánchez

Alba Montes-Sánchez is a postdoctoral researcher at the
Philosophy Department of University College Cork in Ireland. In
her career she has worked and studied in multiple countries and
published her research projects in respected scientific journals.
She is especially interested in understanding the concepts
self-conscious emotions, such as shame, guilt or embarrassment,
therefore her dissertation at Carlos III University of Madrid
focused on the moral significance of shame. Even though these
emotions are considered unpleasant, she likes to emphasize that
these emotions are important and have their entitlement for our
social coexistence.
