Katharina Felka is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Graz, where she conducts research and teaches in philosophy of language, metaphysics, and metaethics. She has previously held postdoctoral positions at the University of Zurich, University of Hamburg, Uppsala University, and visiting affiliations at MIT, Humboldt University, University of Konstanz, ILLC Amsterdam, and the University of Oslo. Her research focuses on normatively loaded expressions such as slurs, pejoratives, thick terms, and dual-character concepts, as well as the semantics/pragmatics interface, presuppositions, that-clauses, and indirect communication. She employs linguistic methods to address philosophical problems, particularly in ontology and evaluative discourse. Her recent publications reflect a strong trend in the philosophy of language, especially in the semantics of evaluative and normative expressions, indirect speech, and ontological commitments in mathematical discourse. She frequently collaborates with leading scholars such as Nils Franzén, Julia Zakkou, Peter Pagin, and Benjamin Schnieder. Wolfgang-Stegmüller Prize (2015) Karl H. Ditze Award (2016) She leads and co-leads multiple funded research projects, including In A Roundabout Way: Theory and Practice of Indirect Communication (FWF/DFG), The Meaning of Evaluative Language (Swedish Research Council), and contributes to the Excellence Cluster Knowledge In Crisis . She supervises graduate students and regularly organizes international workshops and conferences, such as the Graz Evaluative Language Workshop and colloquia on philosophy-linguistics intersections. She is also involved in the SFB Language and Redundancy starting in 2025. She teaches courses such as Introduction to Philosophy of Language, Introduction to Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Logic, and graduate seminars on Frege, Grice, Kripke, generics, and formal semantics.
