Lucy Christine Schultz is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Co-Director of Environmental Studies at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. She holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Oregon and an MA in Philosophy and the Arts from SUNY Stony Brook. Her research revolves around questions pertaining to dialectic, philosophy of nature and environment, and the genesis of art as they are developed within the traditions of German idealism, phenomenology, and modern Japanese philosophy. She is currently working on projects drawing out the philosophical resources within these traditions for thinking through and addressing the challenges presented by climate change. Her work has appeared in journals such as Philosophy East and West, Environmental Philosophy, Japanese Journal of Religious Studies, and Hegel Bulletin, and she is co-editor of Tetsugaku Companion to Nishida Kitarō (Springer Nature, 2022). Beyond the academy, Schultz serves the Chattanooga community through volunteer work at several community gardens, urban farms, and non-profit organizations whose missions relate to climate resilience and food security.
