About John Mullarkey

Born 1965. John Mullarkey is a film theorist, writer, university teacher and media scholar.

John Mullarkey is the Professor in Film and Television at Kingston University, London, and a member of The London Graduate School.

Mullarkey's work explores variations of "non-standard-philosophy", arguing that philosophy is a subject that continually shifts its identity through engaging with (supposedly) "non-philosophical" fields such as film. Mullarkey's work notably engages with that of François Laruelle and Henri Bergson.

He is an editor of the journal Film-Philosophy, and chair of the Society for European Philosophy.
