Jordan Kokot, Ph.d.

Bio & Interests

 

I am a Boston-based writer, teacher, and philosopher who specializes in the ethics of technology, aesthetics & the philosophy of art, the phenomenology of time, and social & political philosophy.  My current research focuses on the ethical, political, and phenomenological issues generated by the meteoric rise of modern digital and biomedical technologies. For example, I write and teach about how VR and XR technologies manipulate normative affordance structures within a broader techno-capital context, and how cyborg technologies (e.g., brain-computer interface like Neuralink) play into and deepen an ableist political aesthetic of cure. I am also a co-curator of the multimedia art and literature journal, field|guide (book / IG ), and I was recently the faculty advisor for Simpliciter, the Brandeis Undergraduate Journal of Philosophy
