Gavin Rae is Associate Professor (Accredited to Professor) in the Department of Logic and Theoretical Philosophy at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain. His research interests lie in nineteenth and twentieth century European philosophy, where he works at the intersection of socio-political philosophy, psychoanalytic theory, ontology, and ethics. Besides over sixty published articles and book chapters, he has published seven monographs, most recently Questioning Sexuality: From Psychoanalysis to Gender Theory and Beyond (Edinburgh University Press, 2024) and Poststructuralist Agency: The Subject in Twentieth-Century Theory (Edinburgh University Press, 2020), and co-edited seven volumes, the most recent of which are Transformation in Contemporary French Theory (Edinburgh University Press, forthcoming—with Emma Ingala and Cillian Ó Fathaigh), Critique and Political Reason: Exploring Critical Theory (Edinburgh University Press, forthcoming—with Emma Ingala and Cillian Ó Fathaigh), Philosophy across Borders (Routledge, 2025—with Emma Ingala), and Subjective Agency and Poststructuralism (Routledge, 2025—with Cillian Ó Fathaigh).
