She was active during the 1986 People's Power Revolution that overthrew Ferdinand Marcos.[4] Picart has drawn from this experience in several of her published works.[5] Picart graduated with a B.S. in Biology (magna cum laude) in 1987, and an M.A. in Philosophy from the Ateneo de Manila University in 1989, while teaching as a university lecturer in Zoology, Philosophy and Astro-Physics at both the Ateneo de Manila University and the San Carlos Pastoral Formation Complex.[6] She was the first Filipina recipient of the Sir Run Run Shaw Scholarship at Christ's College, Cambridge, and graduated with an M.Phil from the Department of History and Philosophy of Science as the Wolfson Prize Winner in 1991. After teaching at Yonsei University's Foreign Language Institute from 1992 to 1993, in 1996 she completed her Ph.D. in Philosophy, with doctoral minors in Aesthetics, Criticism and Theory from Pennsylvania State University, before she completed a post-doctoral summer seminar with Cornell University's School of Criticism and Theory in 1999.[3]
