Biografie
After studying philosophy and history in Geneva and race and postcolonial theory in London (MA), Lucie K. Mercier obtained her PhD in philosophy at the Center for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP), Kingston University, London (2016). She continued at the CRMEP as an Early Career Research Fellow, then as a Lecturer (2016-2019). Before joining the University of Fribourg she was a Visiting Researcher at the Laboratoire des Logiques Contemporaines de la Philosophy (LLCP) at Paris 8 Saint-Denis, and at the Program in Critical Theory at the University of Berkeley.
Lucie K. Mercier's research examines how questions of race and coloniality interfere with the concepts, models and practices of philosophy and its history. Her current project, which is funded by the Swiss National Science Fondation, analyses various forms of "dramaturgies" at work in the writings of Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) as they operate at the intersection of institutional psychotherapy, phenomenology and anti-colonial political thought.
Lucie K. Mercier is on the editorial board of the British journal Radical Philosophy.
