Emily Anne Parker, Ph.D, Associate Professor of Philosophy. A 2009 graduate of Emory University, Emily’s work explores the ecological or bodily hierarchies that make the polis and the polis-based or political hierarchies that make ecology. This work explores breaches of "the body.” She has authored numerous research articles and a monograph, and she has edited one book. She is the author of Elemental Difference and the Climate of the Body, Oxford University Press (2021), and editor of Differences: Rereading Beauvoir and Irigaray (2017), also published by Oxford University Press. Emily has served as a member of the Book Selection Advisory Committee for the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy since 2023. She is currently focused on two projects. The first involves editing and introducing a new translation of Simone de Beauvoir’s Pour une morale de l’ambigüité, under review with University of Illinois Press. Elaborating on Elemental Difference and the Climate of the Body, Emily is writing a second monograph on the polis and democracy.
