Noëlle McAfee is a philosopher specializing in democratic theory and practice, transitional justice, feminist philosophy, contemporary European thought, and American pragmatism. She is the principle investigator for a project with the Kettering Foundation on media and democracy and the associate editor of the Kettering Review, a journal of political thought. As a philosopher committed to making the humanities more engaged with public life, McAfee works widely with communities of scholars, deliberative practitioners, new media leaders, and journalists throughout the world.
Her latest book, Democracy and the Political Unconscious (Columbia University Press, 2008), charts a course for democratic practice in a world sorely needing transformation. It explores the potential of deliberative dialogue and other public testimonies to work through the traumas of oppression, terror, and brutality that keep political communities from developing spaces and practices through which all can help shape their common world. Her other writings include Habermas, Kristeva, and Citizenship (Cornell University Press), Julia Kristeva (Routledge), and Standing with the Public: the Humanities and Democratic Practice (Kettering Foundation Press).
McAfee was Associate Research Professor of Philosophy and Conflict Analysis at George Mason University 2008-2010 and she blogs at Gone Public: Philosophy, Politics, & Public Life.
