Axel O. Karamercan

I am a visiting scholar at the University of Edinburgh (PPLS). I completed my doctoral studies at the University of Tasmania under the supervision of Jeff Malpas and Ingo Farin with a thesis titled "Heidegger’s Topology of Language: Language and Dwelling". I spent research periods at the University of Crete in Greece and University at Buffalo (SUNY) as a visiting PHD scholar. My research focuses on Martin Heidegger’s hermeneutic phenomenology, with a specific concentration on his philosophy of place and poetic language. My work has cross-disciplinary connections to comparative literature and language studies. My recent publications include research articles and book-chapters that focus on contemporary issues in hermeneutics, phenomenology, philosophy of education, philosophy of technology, and the limits of East-West philosophical dialogue.
