Jill Stauffer is associate professor and director of the concentration in Peace, Justice and Human Rights at Haverford College, where she runs a restorative practice pilot project and co-directs the Kim Institute for Ethical Inquiry and Leadership. Her book Ethical Loneliness: The Injustice of Not Being Heard, was published by Columbia University Press in 2015. The book was used as a model for the series of dialogues amongst Indigenous nations that lead to the Uluru Statement from the Heart, a cooperative request to the Australian government for indigenous voice in Parliament. She is on the editorial board of Voice of Witness, an oral history book series and education non-profit illuminating human rights crises by amplifying the voices of those who suffer through them. Her edited volume (with Bettina Bergo), Nietzsche and Levinas: After the Death of a Certain God, was published by Columbia University Press in 2009. She earned her doctorate in Rhetoric with specializations in philosophy of law and continental ethics from the University of California, Berkeley in 2003, and has also taught at Amherst College (LJST) and John Jay College/CUNY (Philosophy). She has published articles on the work of Levinas, of Nietzsche, and of Arendt, on phenomenologies of listening, practices of hearing that succeed or fail, differences between legal and ethical responsibility, transitional justice and political reconciliation, settler colonialism, indigenous land claims and indigenous refusal/resistance, and how international law judges child soldiers. She has a forthcoming book called Temporal Privilege, about the role of competing temporalities in spaces of political conflict and resistance and in everyday human life.
