Dr. phil. Ineta Kivle is a philosopher and leading researcher at the University of Latvia.  Her research is situated at the intersection of phenomenology, philosophy of music, aesthetics, and history of ideas. She received her Doctoral degree in Philosophy (Dr.phil.) from the University of Latvia with a dissertation entitled “Sound, Speech, Voice and Music in Phenomenological Perspective”. Since 2017, she has been a Leading Researcher in the Field of the History of Ideas at the University of Latvia, where her research focuses on rhythm, number, sound, and colour from an interdisciplinary philosophical perspective. She has also held academic and leadership positions at the National Library of Latvia and the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music.

In 2017, Dr. Kivle founded the interdisciplinary research series Phronesis – Praxis – Paideia, which has since become a sustained platform for philosophical dialogue across disciplines. Within this framework, more than ten scientific conferences and peer-reviewed collective monographs and proceedings have been organised, fostering collaboration between philosophy, arts, cultural studies, and humanities.

Dr. Kivle has published approximately 60 scholarly articles in Latvian, English, German, Slovenian, and Russian, including contributions to SCOPUS-indexed and international peer-reviewed journals and volumes. She is the author of the monographs in Latvian: Philosophy of Sound (2009) and Philosophy: Theoretical and Practical Study (2011), and serves as chief editor and guest editor of several collective scientific publications and special journal issues. Her work contributes to contemporary debates on phenomenology, rhythm, sound, colour, number, polyphony, liminality, and interdisciplinary methodology.
