Research Interests
Iwona's teaching and research interests lie within the area of twentieth- and twenty-first-century French and German philosophy, political thought, comparative literature and theory (French, Critical, Literary, Feminist, Queer, Anarchist). She is particularly interested in the works of Peter Sloterdijk, Isabelle Stengers, Michel Serres, Bruno Latour, Alain Badiou, Jacques Rancière, René Girard and Gilbert Simondon. Currently, she is finishing a monograph that deals with the question of how to think politics and nonhumans together in the context of recent ecological and technological developments. This research was funded by the British Academy (2015–18). Her project for AIAS (2019–2022), examines world-building in contemporary continental philosophy. It concentrates on the passage from diagnostics and critique towards gestures of construction and affirmation in philosophy. At the heart of her research lies the question of social transformation.
