ABOUT
Khôra Martel is a trans and queer philosopher and poet. They currently serve as Director of the concentration in Ancient Philosophy within the Master's Program in Philosophy, and as a Senior Research Fellow, at The Global Centre for Advanced Studies, as well as sitting on the Editorial Board of The Philosopher. They have taught at NYU; Baruch College, CUNY; The University of Chicago, and The University of Tennessee. A graduate of Bard College at Simon’s Rock, they received two doctorates — in Religion & Visual Culture and in Comparative Literature with a specialization in philosophy — from the University of Chicago.
They are also a Founding Editor of The New Little Review, a magazine dedicated to platforming experimental, radical, poetry, literature, and critique.
Their work reaches for the lonely spaces which are neither philosophy nor literature, neither scholarship nor fiction. They are interested in the alien, in wildness, in the reception and rejection of classical thought, and in horror, as well as issues within critical theory, ontology, psychoanalysis, theory-fiction and the global Weird, Gothic, and modernist traditions. Their writing has appeared or is forthcoming in various popular and academic outlets.
