About
Dr. David R. Gruber
I write about a variety of topics, including affect, material politics, and ways of studying brains/guts/bodies. I enjoy using neuroscientific concepts as a mode of invention in the humanities, and visa versa. I am also interested in exploring the agency of things as well as adding specificity to (or just rethinking) process philosophies. Finally, I enjoy participating in joint, interdisciplinary projects about medical and scientific issues. Here below, you can see a list of my writings and few new media projects.
