Biography

Kathy J. Kiloh is an Associate Professor of philosophy at OCAD University in Toronto. Her current research project, titled "What the World Needs Now: T.W. Adorno's Materialist Ethic of Love," investigates the centrality of eros in Adorno's philosophy of the nonidentical, and argues for the continuing relevance of his work to contemporary social critique. The resulting monograph will expand upon her most recent publication "Adorno's Materialist Ethic of Love" in the Blackwell Companion to Adorno, eds. Peter E. Gordon, Espen Hammer, and Max Pensky, 2020. She is also the co-founder of The Association for Adorno Studies and past editor of the "Adorno Studies" journal.
