Short biography
I was educated in France (BA and MA in Philosophy, Paris I-Sorbonne), the US (Ph.D in Philosophy, Loyola University, Chicago), and Germany (Postdoc in Philosophy, Hegel-Archiv, Bochum). Before becoming an ICREA Research Professor, I was a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick (UK) for over 25 years. I have held Visiting Professorships in Milan (Università degli Studi di Milano), Moscow (The Institute of Philosophy of the Academy of Sciences), New York (The New School for Social Research), Boston (Boston College), and Ca'Foscari (Venice). I have been the recipient of various grants as Principal Investigator between 2007 and 2019 and am currently a co-PI on a project at the intersection of literature and political theory, which explores the utopian/dystopian narratives of Atwood, Ishiguro, and Houellbecq. .
