My AHRC-funded research asks how trans philosophy challenges and helps think the unthought in critical and transcendental phenomenology. I consider ontologically pluralistic, post-foundationalist appropriations of Heidegger’s hermeneutic phenomenology, seeking interventions in the insight that political positions can be both “true”, and built on contestable foundations. My project centres on accounts of lives lived across worlds, on borders and in positions of oppression<-->resistance. Before Brighton, my MPhil at the University of Cambridge responded to Derrida’s 1960s critique that Heidegger reinstates a “transcendental signified”.
