I am an ethnologist and bioethicist. I am interested in non-human subjects, animal ethics, trans-speciesism and trans-species ethics, posthumanism, transhumanism, biotechnologies, bioart, hybrids and chimeras.

Most of my publications are available here: https://iaepan.academia.edu/MagdalenaKozhevnikova

I graduated with a master’s degree from the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology at the UW and a German-Russian master’s degree in “Intercultural Communication” from the Moscow Humanities University (Russia) and Alice Salomon Hochschule (Germany).

I defended my dissertation “The problem of human nature in the context of the development of biotechnology” at the IF RAN. In 2015-1018 I worked at the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences. I participated in scientific projects: 2015-2017 Russian Science Foundation grant “Humanistic analysis of biotechnological projects for human “improvement”” and 2017-2018 Russian Foundation for Basic Research grant “Divergence of the human of the future: convergence of technologies, their philosophical interpretation and legal-ethical norms”.

I am currently employed in Dr. Małgorzata Owczarska’s project “Experiencing the Excess, Absence and Sustained Presence of Water. A study in the blue anthropology stream” carried out at IEiAK UW.
