Gray Kochhar-Lindgren is the 2025–26 Eminent Scholar in the Humanities Chair and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Alabama–Huntsville and has recently been invited to serve as one of the inaugural Senior Research Fellows at the Center for AI, Society, and Critique in Berlin. Since 2023, he has served as Honorary Professor of Humanities at the University of Hong Kong, where he teaches in Comparative Literature’s MALCS program, and, from 2014–22, Gray was Professor and Director of HKU’s Common Core as well as the Lead for the Outstanding Teaching Award (Team) for Transdisciplinarity-in-Action, both for HKU and for the entire UGC sector. A Fulbright Scholar, he had earlier been the inaugural Associate Vice-Chancellor for Undergraduate Learning and Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington–Bothell. His most recent books are (with Wendy Sims-Schouten and Jack Tsao) Transdisciplinary Experiments: Research, Teaching, and Institutionalization (UCL Press, 2026); Pintxos: Small Delicacies and Chance Encounters (2023); and Urban Arabesques: Philosophy, Hong Kong, Transversality (2020). He is now scrambling through, at various rates of speed, After Magritte: Philosophical Fabulations; Becoming Elemental: ReOrientations for the Next Millennium; Noir Metaphysics; and The Asymptotic Subject: The “I” of AI. Seeking to create as many pathways of learning in as many ways as might be possible, Gray continues to concoct alternative institutionalities, to teach, to mentor students, and to consult on creating unexpected connections across curricular, project, and administrative issues within and beyond universities. To help with these tasks, he co-founded—with Kanta Kochhar-Lindgren—Wild Studios Consulting & Creative Productions LLC, which is based on a dirt road in the woods on Whidbey Island.
