Katerina Koci is a post-doctoral researcher at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna, Austria, and a laureate of the Lise Meitner Fellowship funded by Austrian Science Fund (FWF) for the project entitled Woman without a Name: Gender Identity in Sacrificial Stories (M2947-G). After defending her doctoral dissertation from KU Leuven, Belgium in 2017, Katerina held a fellowship at Charles University, Prague. She lives with her husband, a fellow theologian/philosopher Martin, and two small kids in Vienna.

Katerina's research focus is biblical, feminist and philosophical-theological hermeneutics, afterlife of biblical motifs in Christian culture, existentialism and phenomenology of sacrificial experience. Among my intellectual sources belong Hans-Georg Gadamer, Søren Kierkegaard, Jan Patočka and Julia Kristeva. Her research topics are sacrifice, specifically woman sacrifice, feminine and post-colonial aspects of the promised land as received in Western culture.
