Julia Sushytska (Ph.D., Philosophy, Stony Brook University) specializes in Ancient Greek and 20th century Continental philosophy. Her research focuses on convergences between ideas of Parmenides, Heraclitus, and Plato, and the work of 20th century thinkers, especially Gilles Deleuze, Alain Badiou, Julia Kristeva, and Merab Mamardashvili. She published scholarly articles in major peer-reviewed journals (Mosaic, Angelaki, Philosophy Today, Journal of Aesthetic Education), as well as in edited volumes. Among them is an essay on the philosophical notion of Eastern Europe that was reprinted by Routledge in Philosophy, Society and the Cunning of History in Eastern Europe. She co-edited a volume, Gilles Deleuze and Metaphysics (Lexington Books, 2014), and is currently finishing a manuscript entitled Internal Strangers, in which she argues that metics, or resident aliens, are indispensable for the existence of political, cultural, and philosophical places.
