Autorenporträt
Kathrin Thiele is associate professor of gender studies and critical theory in the Department of Media and Culture Studies at Utrecht University. Trained transdisciplinarily in gender studies, sociology, literary studies, and critical theory, her research focuses on questions of ethics and politics from queer feminist, decolonial and posthuman(ist) perspectives. Birgit M. Kaiser is associate professor of comparative literature and transcultural aesthetics at Utrecht University. Her research spans literatures in English, French and German of the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, always with a focus on literature as a mode of poetic knowledge production, on the relation of literature, aesthetics, and affect, as well as on writing subjectivity in transcultural and post/colonial constellations of power. Together, Kathrin Thiele and Birgit M. Kaiser founded and coordinate the international group Terra Critica: Interdisciplinary Network for the Critical Humanities (http://terracritica.net). Timothy O'Leary is head of the School of Humanities & Languages at the University of New South Wale. His research is in the area of contemporary European philosophy, in particular the work of Michel Foucault. He is particularly keen to promote the critical role of the humanities in our contemporary world of splintered politics, huge inequalities, and a growing environmental crisis.
