About Stefan Dolgert

Stefan Dolgert (PhD, Duke; BA, University of Southern California) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario. He writes and teaches on themes of inclusion and exclusion in democratic theory, and is especially interested in ancient Greece, classical China, posthumanism, critical animal studies, and Afrofuturism.

His current project, Alien Athena, is a biomimetic posthumanist reclamation of the canonical texts of “Western Civ” (Homer, Plato, Aristotle), using an interpretive method derived from the ichneumonid superfamily of parasitic wasps. He argues that the way forward to “xenopolis” – where humans and nonhumans dwell in common – is best achieved through hacking these texts that form our civilizational DNA, and he is excited to further this research as a part of the ASRI community for the coming year.
