Dr Ievgeniia Ivanova

I have been a Visiting Researcher at the University of Stirling since November 2023, and I have also been an Honorary Fellow at the University of Aberdeen since July 2022.

Before that, I worked as an Associate Professor at the Department of Philosophy at the National University "Odesa Maritime Academy"; from 2017-2018, I was a Visiting Lecturer at the Odesa National Medical University, and from 2010 to 2012, I was a Senior lecturer and from 2013 to 2018 Associate Professor at the Department of Philosophy and Methodology of Science at the Odesa National Polytechnic University.

I have an interdisciplinary background. I first studied social sciences and received a BA in sociology (2006), followed by an MA in social work with honours (2007). Afterwards, I decided to continue my research in philosophy and the methodology of knowledge. In 2012, I received my PhD in philosophy, specialising in the methodology of knowledge in Odesa I. I. Mechnykov National University.

I also believe academic research should not be buried in scientific journals but should reach the common public. That is why I popularise humanitarian science and philosophy and have many popular science publications in different media, including the UK online magazine The Conversation. Also, I am an Editor-in-chief of an online magazine about culture, urban study, and contemporary art, Prostranstvo (www.prostranstvo.media), and a member of the International movement of science fans Share Your Knowledge «15х4».
