Dr Ellie Robson

I am a Teaching Fellow at the University of Warwick (2025-8). My research focuses on the ethics of Aristotle through the lens of under-appreciated figures in the history of 20th century philosophy. So far, I've published works on Mary Midgley's and Susan Stebbing's ethics. My work is committed to expanding the canon particularly to include more women figures.

Currently, I am working on a group of Neo-Aristotelian Naturalists which engage seriously in animal life and ethology e.g., Mary Midgley, Alasdair MacIntyre & Martha Nussbaum.

All my publications to date are available to download from my PhilPeople page.

I am also:

Special Issues Editor at the Journal for the History of Analytic Philosophy (JHAP)
Administrator of The Aristotelian Society
Board Member of the Women In Parenthesis Project.
