Lanei Rodemeyer

Lanei Rodemeyer works primarily in the areas of Husserlian phenomenology, continental philosophy, the philosophy of time, and feminist/gender philosophy of the body. She has done extensive research in Husserl's works on inner time-consciousness and argues in her book, Intersubjective Temporality: It's About Time (Springer, 2006), that this apparently solipsistic structure is actually integrated with an open intersubjective structure. In her articles where she takes up questions of the body, she has challenged traditional notions of the subject by considering pregnancy, eating disorders, and more recently, transsexuality, with regard to how they affect our understanding of embodied consciousness. In other recent presentations and articles, she addresses the interrelation of temporality and lived embodiment; questions of time, eternity, and existentialism; and the issue of hormone treatment for feminist philosophy.
