Iris van der Tuin
Iris van der Tuin is Professor of Theory of Cultural Inquiry in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Utrecht University and Director of its School of Liberal Arts. Iris is interested in humanities scholarship that traverses the “two cultures” and that reaches beyond the boundaries of academia. As such, she contributes to the new and interdisciplinary humanities and to the Scholarship of Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning (“SoITL”). In the past, Iris chaired the COST Action New Materialism: Networking European Scholarship on ‘How Matter comes to Matter’ (2014-18) and worked in the H2020 project Ethics of Coding: A Report on the Algorithmic Condition (2017, chaired by Felicity Colman).
Together, Iris van der Tuin and Nanna Verhoeff initiated the Creative Humanities Academy of the Faculty of Humanities at Utrecht University: an infrastructure for collaboration between academic scholars and creative professionals, post-academic teaching, and consultancy on humanities theories, methodologies, and pedagogies.

Their co-authored book Critical Concepts for the Creative Humanities will be published by Rowman & Littlefield International in the fall of 2021.
