Professor Christine Daigle of Brock University (Canada) will be a visitor to the Department later this month where she will give a talk to the Post-Kantian Philosophy Research Seminar on de Beauvoir and feminist phenomenology (February 5th) and a seminar presentation on Nietzsche to MA students (to be announced).

Christine Daigle is Professor of Philosophy and Chancellor's Chair for Research Excellence at Brock University (Canada). She is the author of Le Nihilisme est-il un humanisme? Étude sur Nietzsche et Sartre (PUL, 2005), and Jean-Paul Sartre (Routledge, Critical Thinkers Series, 2009). She has edited Existentialist Thinkers and Ethics (McGill/Queen's University Press, 2006) and co-edited with Jacob Golomb Beauvoir and Sartre. The Riddle of Influence (Indiana University Press, 2009) and co-edited with Élodie Boublil Nietzsche and Phenomenology. Power, Life, Subjectivity (Indiana University Press, forthcoming in the spring 2013). She is currently working on two major research projects. The first is a monograph tentatively titled Nietzsche as phenomenologist. The second, rooted in her work on Simone de Beauvoir, is a series of articles on feminist phenomenology and the ethical and political implications of approaching human inter-relations from that perspective.
