Professor Özlem DUVA KAYA is a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Dokuz Eylül University in İzmir, Türkiye. Her research focuses on Kantian philosophy, philosophical anthropology, modern German philosophy, Enlightenment philosophy and feminist philosophy. Her interests include Hannah Arendt, gender, and the relationship between philosophy and social life, and increasingly extend to the philosophy of technology and engineering ethics. ​

From 2 to 30 October 2026, Professor Duva will visit Nagoya Institute of Technology, hosted by Associate Professor Tadahiro Oota, to collaborate on a project developing an international research partnership in the philosophy of engineering and AI ethics grounded in modern German philosophy. The project will explore how Kantian and feminist perspectives can contribute to discussions of responsibility, inclusion, and the social implications of technological development. Through joint research discussions and academic exchange, it aims to identify shared research questions and lay the foundations for future collaborative publications. During her stay, she will also give lectures in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya on Kant’s anthropology, human difference, and modern progress.​
