In this interview, conducted over email across several months, Jim Vernan tracks with Kris intellectual journey, focusing on her first book, Moments of Disruption: Levinas, Sartre, and the Question of Transcendence, and her recent Creolizing the Nation, which received the Nicolás Cristó bal Guillén Batista Outstanding Book Award from the Caribbean Philosophical Association. Along the way, they touch upon her shift from biology and mathematics to Continental philosophy, the relationship between philosophy and personal biography, the nature and promises of a creolizing approach to philosophical research, and the need for philosophy to remain expansive, diverse, and inclusive.
