Miguel Núñez de Prado (he/him) is a Juan de la Cierva Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Granada. He was previously a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Rijeka and Utrecht University, and a visiting researcher at the University of Exeter, Nova University of Lisbon, the Institut Jean Nicod, and the University of Valparaíso.

His research lies at the intersection of philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychiatry, and clinical psychology, with a focus on the analysis of concepts of mental health from a broadly regulative and situated approach to the mind. His postdoctoral research analyzes these issues through the lens of the political turn in analytic philosophy, focusing on concepts and claims central to social justice movements in mental health, such as the Neurodiversity movement.

In particular, he is interested in how these movements may reshape traditional philosophical debates concerning the mind, identity, and agency; for instance, how to delimit social deviance from psychopathology, how to conceptualize abilities often taken to be crucial for mental health (e.g., self-regulation), or what role lived experience should play in the production of knowledge about the mind.

Between April and July 2026, he will be a visiting researcher at IFILNOVA in the context of the project CORES – Communicative Paths to Righting Epistemic Wrongs (FCT, 2023.14900.PEX) with Giulia Terzian, where he will focus on the analysis and amelioration of epistemic and non-epistemic injustices pertaining to self-interpretation experienced by neurodivergent minorities in communicative exchanges within mental health contexts.
