Biography

Kathleen C. Stewart is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Texas at Austin, known for her contributions to the fields of affect theory and experimental ethnographic writing. Her scholarly work engages with non-representational theory and new materialisms, examining the ways in which collective living and sensing inform our understanding of the world. She has authored several influential books, including 'Ordinary Affects' published by Duke University Press in 2007, and 'Space on the Side of the Road: Cultural Poetics of 'Other' America' from Princeton University Press in 1996. Stewart's current project explores worlding as a methodology for attuning to our environments and understanding the intricacies of lived experiences.
