[Fall 2011] Kyoo Lee is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at John Jay College, CUNY, where she is also affiliated faculty for Gender Studies and Justice Studies Programs. In addition, she teaches courses and leads faculty seminars in feminist theories and comparative literature at the CUNY Graduate Center, where she started as a Mellon Faculty Fellow (2009-2010).
Dually trained in Continental philosophy (Warwick Univ.) and literary theory (London Univ.), Kyoo Lee publishes widely in the intersecting fields of the theoretical Humanities such as Aesthetics, Asian American Studies, Comparative Literature/Philosophy, Continental Philosophy, Critical Race theory, Cultural Studies, Deconstruction, Feminist Philosophy, Gender Studies, Poetics, Post-phenomenology and Translation. Her first and forthcoming book is titled Reading Descartes Otherwise: Blind, Mad, Dreamy, and Bad (Fordham University Press. 2012), which explores Cartesian alterities such as blindness, madness, dreaminess and badness, in that order; currently, she is working or sitting on a few other “alterities” projects, including one that looks at intersectional differences between xenophobia(/philia) and racism.
