Rachel Pafe

Rachel Pafe is a writer and researcher based in Berlin. Her academic research deals with Gillian Rose, a sociologist and philosopher who had a fraught relationship with religion, Marxism, and political action. She explores this by charting Rose’s real and imagined conversations with Jacqueline Rose, Simone Weil, Emmanuel Levinas, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, and Daniel Bensaïd. Her broader writing has been featured in The Baffler, Radical Philosophy, Berlin Review, Vashti, Marginalia Review of Books, Protocols, and The Conversationalist. She is part of the Night Sheyds* collective, a host for the Biography channel of New Books Network, and runs the Reading in Constellation reading group and publication project at Hopscotch Reading Room.
