Kolgotondiv earned a B.A. in Comparative Literature at the University of Tbilisi (2007‑2011), where she first encountered the work of Julia Kristeva, Hélène Cixous, and the early cyber‑feminist manifestos of the VNS Matrix collective. A semester abroad at the University of Copenhagen exposed her to the Nordic tradition of mythic reinterpretation, especially the works of Sigrid Undset and the contemporary poetics of Timo Toots. She completed her M.A. in Digital Humanities at the University of Edinburgh (2012‑2014) with a thesis titled “From Lilith to Liminality: Digital Re‑Enactments of the First Woman in Jewish Folklore.”
