| Maria Cimitile | cimitilm@gvsu.edu | Associate Dean's Office, Grand Valley State University | I am interested in the intersection of psychoanalysis, feminist theory, and politics. Irigaray offers interesting interpretations that open new possibilities for a grounding of political thought and action. |
| Christopher Cohoon | trulycohoon@yahoo.ca | SUNY Stony Brook | love, touch, Irigaray's reading of figures in the tradition |
| Benjamin Dow | bdow@email.eden.rutgers.edu | Rutgers University | Sexuality |
| Linda Edwards | elinda1@rochester.rr.com | Syracuse University | ethics of sexual difference; labor of the negative; extending her work to address other forms of difference |
| Michael Eng | michaeleng@verizon.net | Department of Social Science and Cultural Studies, Pratt Institute | Post-Heideggerean continental aesthetic and linguistic theory; feminist theory; Marxist urban theory. I'm particularly interested in Irigaray's investigations into the speculative constitution of subjectivity, and I am seeking to explore how her research intersects with Foucault's work on the imaginary basis of disciplinarity. |
| Hernando Estevez | hestevez@depaul.edu | Philosophy Department, DePaul University | My interest in Irigaray's philosophy is primarily on her work on ethics, especially in the concept of "coexistence" and its impact on democracy. |
| Breanne Fahs | bfahs@umich.edu | Department of Women's Studies, Arizona State University | I'm interested in Irigaray's contributions to feminist theory, particularly her nuanced interpretation of the way women are "on the market." I think she extends and refines the work of other French feminists and posits new ways of considering the way that patriarchy affects the individual and the culture at large. |

| Dijana Jelaca | dj514@nyu.edu | NYU | |
| Jena Jolissant | jjolissaint@hotmail.com | Department of Philosophy, Oglethorpe University | I am interested in two related areas of Irigaray's work. First, I work on her engagement with the history of philosophy, particularly the Greeks. Second, I am exploring how an ethics of sexual difference might be bound up in an aesthetics of sexual difference by bringing Irigaray's critical mimesis into dialogue with the American novelist Kathy Acker's method of appropriation. |
| Mercedes L. Jorge | mljorge@ull.es | Universidad de La Laguna | I'm interested in reconstructing the complex rooting of "violence" in the work of Luce Irigaray, in particular in her earlier books. I'm interested in her conception of the symbolic violence because it's the one that explains the impossibility of a healthy relation between women. My real interest towards the thought of the sexual difference is the attainment of a no-patriarcal relation between women. |
