Dena Shottenkirk is an American moral and political philosopher, artist, and founder of the art and public philosophy nonprofit talkPOPc,[citation needed] whose work centers on the intersection of epistemology, perception, and aesthetics.[citation needed] She is an Associate Professor at Brooklyn College, City University of New York.[1]
Education[edit]
Shottenkirk has a BA in philosophy and art from the University of Kansas (1977)[citation needed] and an MFA from the Mason Gross School of the Arts of Rutgers University (1981).[citation needed] Shottenkirk received her doctorate in philosophy from the CUNY Graduate Center in 2005.[citation needed]
Career[edit]
Shottenkirk was a staff art critic for Artforum[2] and Art in America[3] magazines, and an artist represented by Postmaster Gallery (NYC). She has received numerous awards,[citation needed] including a Fulbright Scholar fellowship,[4] published three books on philosophy and has had numerous exhibitions of her artwork.[citation needed]
Research areas[edit]
Shottenkirk's philosophical research focuses on the ways epistemology dovetails with aesthetics, with particular concern regarding issues of perception.[citation needed] Emphasizing the role of gist perception (the first approximate 300ms.) Shottenkirk has developed a theory that explains how the initial gist perception influences both the objective content that we perceive as well as our subjective assessment.[citation needed] In this, she has joined recent research in philosophy that has shown a willingness to diverge from the traditional emphasis on beauty in aesthetics, and to instead focus on the function of art in the formation of social beliefs.[citation needed]
