Eunyoung Hwang

I am Eunyoung Hwang, a Ph.D. student at the University of Chicago Divinity School, focusing on intentionality, habituation, and moral agency in the context of comparative philosophical studies. Pursuing my B.A. and M.A. program in Philosophy at Yonsei University in Korea, I worked on German Romanticism for my thesis along with some studies on Huayan Buddhism and Zen Buddhism. My Ph.D. program here at the University of Chicago has really equipped me with various academic experiences covering Chinese Buddhism, religious ethics, cultural theories, and moral philosophy. I am particularly interested in incorporating into my research on moral agency some insights from neuro-science and phenomenology, when it comes to embodiment, habituation, some effects of contemplative practices. I am currently a dissertation research fellow in the Stevanovich Institute: Formation of Knowledge at the University of Chicago.
