Alejandro Fábregas-Tejeda is a PhD student at Ruhr-University Bochum under the DFG-Emmy Noether Research Group The Return of the Organism in the Biosciences: Theoretical, Historical, and Social Dimensions. He holds a B.Sc. degree in Biology and a M.A. in Philosophy of Science (with complementary specialization in History of Science) from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). He graduated from UNAM in 2019 with a dissertation entitled “The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis Debate: Historical, Philosophical and Sociological Dimensions” (M.A with honors).
His ongoing PhD project is a philosophical and historical re-appraisal of the organism-environment relationship in the life sciences. In particular, he is studying how this relationship has been construed in the history of twentieth-century biology and in contemporary debates through three interrelated notions: (i) organismal agency; (ii) reciprocity; and (iii) the organism-environment boundary.
