Katherine Davies

My name is Dr. Katherine Davies. I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy and the History of Ideas at the University of Texas at Dallas. I teach in the undergraduate (B.A.) Philosophy program, the Gender Studies program, and the graduate (M.A. and Ph.D.) interdisciplinary History of Ideas and Humanities programs.

My major research areas are 19th and 20th Century Continental Philosophy, Feminist and Queer Theory, Social and Political Philosophy, and the History of Philosophy.

I am currently researching for my second book project, tentatively entitled 'When Home Isn't: Theorizing the Family Policing System.' I am at the National Humanities Center for the 23-24 academic year as a residential fellow to make progress on this monograph project.

My first book entitled 'Heidegger's Conversations: Toward a Poetic Pedagogy' is published by SUNY Press (2024).

I have also published or am preparing articles and book chapters for publication in journals such as Research in Phenomenology, Arendt Studies, Epoche, and Studia Phaenomenologica and in edited collections by Brill and Rowman & Littlefield.

I have been named a Philip L. Quinn fellow at the National Humanities Center, a Philosophy in Media fellow by the Marc Sanders Foundation, and an Iris Marion Young Diversity Scholar by the Rock Ethics Institute at the Pennsylvania State University. My scholarship has been supported by the American Philosophy Association's Diversity Institute Alumni Fund and the German Academic Exchange Service.
