![]() ![]() ![]() I was part of the group that ran the Nordic Gender and Philosophy summer schools. Within feminist thought, I have been interested in transnational issues as one of the founders and first chair of the board of the United Nations University GEST-Programme at the University of Iceland (now Unesco, ). The issue of embodiment is one of the main philosophical discoveries of the 20th century and Nietzsche as a philosopher of the body and feminist philosophies of the body have laid the ground for the idea of the human being as embodied and hence relational, contextual and therefore individual in a more profound sense. I am interested in the intersection of philosophy of embodied life and phenomenology, and have been working on the relation between NietzscheĀ“s philosophy and the philosophies of Arendt, Beauvoir, Irigaray and Butler. I continue to do Nietzsche-research, but have also done work in feminist and environmental philosophy. I studied philosophy in Boston and Berlin, and did my doctorate on the philosophy of Nietzsche. I am a professor of philosophy at the University of Iceland. ![]()
