My name is Britta Clark (she/her). I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Harvard Solar Geoengineering Research Program. I received my PhD in Philosophy from Harvard University in 2025. Before that, I received a master’s degree from the University of Otago in New Zealand, supported by a Fulbright research fellowship. Before that, I graduated from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. Go Bobcats!

My research focuses on a range of ethical and political questions raised by the climate crisis. In particular, I am interested in what role, if any, technologies such as carbon removal and solar geoengineering should play in the energy transition. Making progress on this question requires understanding—and often intervening in—longstanding debates about efficiency, economic growth, burden-sharing, and non-ideal theory.

When I’m not doing philosophy, I can usually be found running, skiing, biking, or volunteering on the board of the Blueberry Hill Outdoor Center in Vermont.
