Saulius Geniusas was born in Vilnius, Lithuania, in 1977. He received his B.A. in Philosophy at Vilnius University in Lithuania (1999), his M.A. in Philosophy at McMaster University in Canada (2002), and his PhD in Philosophy at the New School for Social Research in the USA (2008). In 2006-2007, Geniusas received a research grant from the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) that enabled him to spend an academic year at the Husserl Archive at the University of Cologne. During his graduate studies in New York, Geniusas received a few teaching fellowships that enabled him to offer courses in Philosophy at Eugene Lang College, the New School for Liberal Arts. In 2008 Geniusas defended his dissertation, The Origins of the Horizon in Husserl’s Phenomenology, at the New School for Social Research. His dissertation was awarded the Hans Jonas Prize. Still in 2008, Geniusas joined the Department of Philosophy and Religion at James Madison University in Virginia, USA, as an Assistant Professor in Philosophy. At James Madison University, Geniusas offers upper-level courses in Continental philosophy, especially in phenomenology and hermeneutics. Geniusas has edited a few volumes in phenomenology as well as published close to twenty articles in a number of philosophy journals and Anthologies. His publications address the works of Husserl, Heidegger, Nietzsche, and a number of other philosophers that are generally grouped under the heading of European philosophy.
