Prof. Dr. Imke von Maur

Imke von Maur completed her PhD at the Institute of Cognitive Science at the University of Osnabrück with a socio-critical approach to the epistemic relevance of emotions. Before, she studied Cognitive and Media Sciences at the University of Duisburg-Essen (B. Sc.) and Cognitive Science at the University of Osnabrück (M. Sc.), with Psychology, Neuroscience and Philosophy as major subjects and computer science and economics as minor subjects. After completing her PhD, she worked as a postdoc at the Institute of Cognitive Science at the University of Osnabrück before accepting a professorship in philosophy at the KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. Her work focuses on the philosophy of emotion and affect theory, (critical) phenomenology and (critical) social philosophy, as well as practice theory and epistemology. Thematically, Imke von Maur is primarily concerned with the climate crisis and the role of education for a just, sustainable and democratic society as well as the fundamental interplay of practice, narrative and affectivity in the (shared) production and negation of realities.
