Biography: 

Alia Al-Saji has a PhD in Philosophy from Emory University (2002), following an MA in Philosophy from K. U. Leuven (1995) and a Bachelor of Arts & Science (McMaster University, 1993).听 She has taught at 91社区 since 2002.听 Her work brings together and critically engages 20th-century phenomenology and French philosophy, on the one hand, and critical race, decolonial,听and feminist philosophies, on the other.听 Running through her research is an abiding concern for questions of time, racialization, and embodiment, the intersection of which she seeks to philosophically elaborate.

Al-Saji鈥檚 research has been supported by grants from the听Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada听and听Le fonds de recherche du Qu茅bec en soci茅t茅 et culture.听 In 2009, she was awarded a residence fellowship at the Camargo Foundation in Cassis, France, and in 2012 she was a resident fellow at the Institute of Advanced Study in Durham University, UK.

Al-Saji was the Co-Director of the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP), the second largest philosophical association in North America, from 2014 to 2017.听 She is currently a co-editor of the听Symposia on Gender, Race and Philosophy听and the Feminist Philosophy section editor of听Philosophy Compass.

Current research: 

Al-Saji鈥檚 research traces two interrelated trajectories.听 The first trajectory explores questions of corporeity, memory, and intersubjectivity in terms both of affectivity and perception.听 She aims to think intersubjective relations in temporal terms, drawing on the philosophies of Henri Bergson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty,听and Frantz Fanon.

In the second trajectory, Al-Saji develops a phenomenology of what has been called cultural racism.听 She offers a critical race feminist analysis of representations of Muslim women in contemporary Western contexts by questioning the ways in which race and gender are at play in attitudes toward the Muslim headscarf or 鈥渧eil鈥�.

Al-Saji is currently completing a monograph on Hesitation: Critical Phenomenology, Colonial Duration, and the Affective Weight of the Past.听 In this book, she draws on the works of Bergson, Merleau-Ponty, and Fanon and brings them into dialogue with critical race, decolonial, and feminist philosophies.听 This manuscript not only presents a sustained argument for thinking intersubjectivity temporally, but also brings together her two research trajectories by asking after the ethics and politics of memory and perception. The book presents an analysis of oppressive鈥攕pecifically racializing and colonial鈥攚ays of seeing and the ways they are lived by racialized subjects, in order to generate possibilities for 鈥渟eeing differently鈥�.听

In her methodology, Al-Saji argues for the need for phenomenology to become critical, and she offers a decolonizing critique of operative temporal concepts in the thinkers upon whom she draws.听 In particular, she examines Bergson's distinction of open/closed and Merleau-Ponty's concepts of dialogue between lived body and world and of institution.听 In so doing, she retools their philosophies and elaborates her own concept of colonial duration, in order to think the affective weight of the past in racialized experience.
