Stefanos Geroulanos is Associate Professor of European Intellectual History at New York University and Director of the Center for International Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences (Centre National de Recherche Scientifique/NYU). He usually writes about the history of the concepts that weave together modern understandings of the human, time, and the body. He is now working on a project on the figure of the New Man in modern thought, science, and aesthetics, a co-edited project on time and power, and a smaller project on the modern inventions of human "prehistory." As of May 2017, he is Co-Executive Editor of the Journal of the History of Ideas. In the academic year 2017-18, he is continuing as Director of Graduate Studies in History, and is teaching courses on: Time (graduate, fall 2017); The 1960s (freshman seminar, fall 2017); Freud (undergraduate and graduate, spring 2018), and The Birth of the Human (core curriculum, spring 2018).
