Professor Kasia Jaszczolt is Professor of Linguistics and Philosophy of Language at the University of Cambridge, where she is affiliated with the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics and the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics. She is also a Professorial Fellow at Newnham College, where she serves as Director of Studies in Linguistics. Joining Cambridge in 1995 as an Assistant Lecturer, she progressed through the ranks to become a full Professor in 2010. She previously taught at Oxford, Brighton, and Sussex universities. Her educational background includes Master's degrees in English and Linguistics (1987) and Philosophy (1988) from the University of Łódź, Poland, followed by a D.Phil. in Linguistics and Philosophy from the University of Oxford (1992), where she was a Rawnsley Scholar at St Hugh's College and previously a Soros Scholar at Somerville College. Jaszczolt's research sits at the intersection of linguistics and philosophy, with particular focus on semantics, pragmatics, and the philosophy of language. She developed the influential theory of Default Semantics, which proposes 'dynamic functional propositions' as a way to capture meaning as it evolves in discourse. Her recent work centers on two major projects: (i) dynamic meaning in discourse, where she develops the concept of a functional, dynamic proposition, and (ii) the semantics, pragmatics, and metaphysics of time, particularly human concepts of time and time flow as externalized in different languages. Her research bridges linguistic analysis with philosophical inquiry, examining how language reflects and shapes our understanding of fundamental concepts. Her scholarly output shows a clear evolution from foundational work on propositional attitude reports and semantic ambiguities toward more expansive investigations of self-expression across languages and cultures, and most recently to comprehensive examinations of time representation. The articles demonstrate increasing interdisciplinary engagement, connecting linguistics with philosophy of mind, cognitive science, anthropology, and healthcare communication. Member of Academia Europaea (2012) Alumnus VIP, University of Łódź (2015) Throughout her career, Jaszczolt has secured significant research funding, including from The Leverhulme Trust for projects on Default Semantics (2003-4) and Expressing the Self: Cultural Diversity and Cognitive Universals (2014-17). She currently collaborates on the CHRONOS project 'Rethinking and Communicating Time' with Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. She serves as General Editor of the Oxford Studies of Time in Language and Thought book series and sits on numerous editorial boards including Journal of Pragmatics and Intercultural Pragmatics. Her academic leadership includes serving as President of the Cambridge Institute of Language Research and Head of Department of Linguistics (2009-11). Based at Newnham College, Jaszczolt maintains an active research group focused on time representation and discourse meaning. She collaborates internationally, particularly with researchers in Barcelona on temporal linguistics, and with scholars across Europe on cross-cultural aspects of self-expression. Her work has created a distinctive approach that bridges formal linguistic analysis with philosophical inquiry into fundamental concepts.

She received her undergraduate degree from OCAD University in Toronto, Canada and her MFA from UNLV. Her educational background includes: Undergraduate: OCAD University, Toronto, Canada MFA: University of Nevada, Las Vegas Cole's artistic practice centers on creating complex photographic images that both enchant and disturb viewers, with layered surfaces revealing experiences often lacking representation. Her work simulates dream or hallucinatory states that generate complex narratives without conventional closures. Influenced by her experiences living in Nepal, Indonesia, Romania, Turkey, and Morocco, her creative output explores cross-cultural differences, oppression, and trauma representation through visual media. Her artistic trajectory demonstrates a progression from exploring universal themes of control and power in works like Gods and Heroes and An Immortality of Bliss toward deeply personal narrative transformation in Illuminated Manuscript, where she reclaimed the redaction process used against her in an institutional report following sexual harassment disclosure. This evolution shows increasing integration of personal experience with universal artistic statements addressing institutional power structures.
