Short biography

After graduating from Sciences Po Paris (political science and international relations) and Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne (philosophy), Elodie Boublil earned her PhD at McGill University, department of philosophy (2013). Her dissertation investigated subjectivity's individuation in its relation to perception, and made explicit its redefinitions in the phenomenological tradition, drawing on the notion of operative intentionality (notably in Husserl and Merleau-Ponty).

She then received a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship from the European Commission (2015–2017) and carried out a project titled “Beyond Empathy: toward a phenomenological ethics of vulnerability” at the CNRS in France. She has been visiting research fellow in Copenhagen (Centre for Subjectivity Research, Fall 2016) and Rome (Gregorian University, 2017–2018).
