Juliette Kennedy is Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Helsinki. Her main research interests span logic and mathematics, their history, and their philosophy. She has published extensively on the foundations of mathematics, set theory and its model theory, strong logics, and various topics in the history of logic, though she has also reflected on aesthetical aspects of mathematical practice. She has also written about art in connection with her (avocational) curatorial practice. Currently, she is pursuing a research project on the invariance of mathematical content across formal frameworks, based on the ideas of her 2013 BSL paper entitled "On Formalism Freeness: Implementing Gödel’s 1946 Princeton Bicentennial Lecture".
