BOYU XIE

Hello, I am Boyu. I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Philosophy at McGill University. My primary research interests are in phenomenology and philosophy of mind, especially in the bodily self and bodily awareness. I also have interests in comparing the notion/role of the concept of body in different cultural contexts.

​

Before starting at McGill, I completed my M.A in Philosophy at University of Saskatchewan. Before that, I earned a B.Sc. in Environmental Engineering and finished my graduate-level coursework in Chinese literature and philosophy from Hunan University China.

​

I also used to be a professional yoga instructor, teaching Yin Yoga and Vinyasa for almost two years in Kingston.

Outside of philosophy, I like Cha Dao, photography, and practicing Ashtanga Yoga.
