Bio
Dr. Jessica L. Davis is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the Department of International Studies at the American University of Sharjah. Prior to this, she held an academic position at the American University in the Emirates, where she taught a range of philosophy courses. She earned her Ph.D. in Philosophy from King’s College London in 2022. Her doctoral research reinterpreted Foucault’s engagement with Enlightenment rationality through the analytic lens of Kantian critique and psychoanalytic theory. Her research lies at the intersection of epistemology, ethics, and social philosophy, approached from the frameworks of post-structuralism, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and critical theory. She is the author of Reading Foucault through Lacan: From Hysteric to Analyst (Palgrave Macmillan), which reinterprets the Foucault–Lacan relation and its significance within contemporary French critical thought. Her recent work theorizes the conditions under which virtual reality (VR) technologies mediate the ethical, epistemic, and embodied dimensions of ecological responsiveness in the Anthropocene context.
