[3] In 2017 Skorin-Kapov received the Ideas Worth Teaching Award from the Aspen Institute business and society program.

Jadranka Skorin-Kapov received her PhD in Operations Research in 1987, at the University of British Columbia, supervised by Frieda Granot.

[6] After continuing at UBC for a year as a visiting professor, she accepted a tenure track position at Stony Brook University.

Under her maiden name, in 1995 Skorin-Kapov published a collection of poetry in Chakavian dialect (Čakavski) of Croatian language, entitled Vajk z manon.

[9] This book covers issues central to contemporary continental philosophy: desire, expectations, excess, rupture, transcendence, immanence, and surprise.

Skorin-Kapov draws non-obvious parallels between different thinkers, including Levinas, Žižek, Bataille, Blanchot, Foucault, Ricoeur, Deleuze, Merleau-Ponty, Nancy, Lyotard, and Bachelard.

[13] She deploys her background in philosophy and math to analyze Aronofsky's varied filmography, including π (1998), Requiem for a Dream (2000), The Fountain (2006), The Wrestler (2008), Black Swan (2010), and Noah (2014).

Aronofsky is revealed to be a philosopher’s director, considering the themes of life and death, addiction and obsession, sacrifice, and the fragility of hope.

[16] In 2018 Skorin-Kapov's book Professional and Business Ethics through Film: The Allure of Cinematic Presentation and Critical Thinking was published by Palgrave Macmillan.
