About
Galyna Maleeva is a pioneering scholar at the intersection of bioengineering, posthuman philosophy, and environmental humanities. Her work redefines how we understand artificial intelligence not merely as a technological tool, but as a lens for examining spirituality, ethics, and ecological crisis. In her most-cited paper, "Bioengineering, AI Spirituality, and Environmental Crisis: Ishiguro's Posthuman Humanism" (2025), Maleeva offers a groundbreaking reading of Kazuo Ishiguro’s *Klara and the Sun*. She argues that the novel articulates an “ustopia”—a dialectical tension between utopian and dystopian futures—through the first-person narrative of Klara, a childlike robot. By foregrounding AI spirituality, Maleeva challenges traditional humanist boundaries, proposing that posthuman entities can illuminate our deepest anxieties about climate collapse and technological salvation. Though early in its citation trajectory, this work signals a major contribution to literary and ethical theory, bridging speculative fiction with pressing real-world debates. Maleeva’s research invites students and scholars to rethink agency, empathy, and survival in an age of intelligent machines and planetary precarity.
