Ida is a PhD-researcher based at the Department of Gender Studies at Central European University and the Institute for Cultural Inquiry at Utrecht University where they also teach in the Graduate Gender Programme. Additionally, Ida works with the Relation(al) Matters Archive where they assist in practical and intellectual matters as well as manage technical aspects related to the webpage and the virtual events. Ida's research explores experience of loss as it is rendered in contemporary biomedical research literature on grief as diagnosis and personal accounts of loss. Working from a combined perspective of feminist ontoepistemology and queer and feminist uses of psychoanalytic theory their project reconfigures experience of loss in radically performative terms, asking not what grief is but what it does to or how it animates a sense of being in the world.
