My name is Saurabh Bhattacharya and I am a PhD student at the University of Sydney. My interest areas are Kantian ethics and political philosophy. When I am not poring over books and diverse screens, I teach English literature at a local high school. I also run an informal Philosophy Club at this school every Friday - the students absolutely love it!

In this snapshot, you see me losing a key point of argument to more natural philosophers than I.

My name is Raphaela Edelbauer and I’m a literary, experimental writer who studies philosophy at the University of Vienna (master program). I’m most interested in logic and philosophy of language. This is a photo of me in a traditional Austrian dress posing in a wastebin.

My name is Komarine Romdenh-Romluc. I teach philosophy at the University of Nottingham. I’m mainly interested in our psychological lives, and I’m a particular fan of Merleau-Ponty. When I’m not doing philosophy, I often lie on the floor and cling to the carpet. I sometimes do yoga and dance in carnivals.

My name is Sara Rachel Chant. I am an Associate Professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia. I work on collective intention, action and responsibility. This picture was taken by my MacBook Air. The handsome man in the backseat is Viktor.

Mon, 04 Feb 2013 09:18:45 -0500

My name is Anthony P. Gulston and I am a student of philosophy at Trent University. I study virtue epistemology and ethics. I find that most of my best thinking comes from a good paddle around the Otonabee River in my canoe, The Tremulant.

Mon, 04 Feb 2013 09:18:33 -0500

My name is Philipp von dem Knesebeck. I am a PhD candidate at the Humboldt-University in Berlin, Germany. My main interest is just war theory, especially the challenges posed by current developments in military technology, for example drones and cyberwarfare.

When not doing philosophy, I enjoy wrenching on my classic car, listening to Rockabilly, and other car-related activities. My car is not shown on the picture, though. What is shown is one example from my ever-growing collection of geek shirts.

My name is Sebastien bishop. I am a University College London masters student (UCL undergrad also!). I am interested in Nietzsche, particularly the role of suffering , and political philosophy, in particular the role of autonomy and legitimacy in the state. This photo was taken one year ago, while visiting Heidelberg…a beautiful city and home to a fantastic university

My name is Travis Rieder, and I am currently working on my Ph.D. in philosophy at Georgetown University. I work primarily in ethics, but get a kick out of lots of different questions in philosophy.

When not doing philosophy, I am quite often on my motorcycle. I may love motorcycles as much as I love philosophy, but it’s even harder to get someone to pay you to ride a motorcycle than it is to get someone to pay you to do philosophy. This picture was taken on Skyline Drive, in the middle of an 800 mile trip through VA and WV.

Hello, I’m John Gardner. I’m primarily a philosopher of law and I work at the University of Oxford. This photo was taken a couple of years ago when my daughter was tiny. I had just completed the Great South Run. I like to run longish distances for goodish causes, but only occasionally. Mostly I like to write, think, and build stuff (such as websites and kitchens). I also have two allotments, which I particularly enjoy strimming.

I am Katherine Belle Hartling, but most people call me “Kat”. I am currently a student in Philosophy at the CUNY Graduate Center in NYC. I am pictured here at the top of half dome, one of the most grueling day hikes I have ever taken. My areas of interest include Neuro-aesthetics, Buddhist Metaphysics, and perception theory. I am also a student of hula-hooping, outdoor adventuring, computer repair, coffee and all that is fun in life. This semester I am teaching my first class at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, it is Introductory Ethics course. If I meet you in person, I might ask you what your favorite Beatles song is, I think that says a lot about a person.

I am Elisabetta Lalumera, I’m a lecturer at the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy), and I’m also doing a second PhD in epistemology at the Northern Institute of Philosophy, Aberdeen (UK). Behind me, Mont Blanc.

I’m Andrea Veltman, an Associate Professor of Philosophy at James Madison University in Virginia. I’m currently working on a book on meaningful work and human flourishing, and editing a volume on feminist philosophy and autonomy. This picture was taken by a good friend of mine who is a professor of Judaism and religious terrorism, during our beach vacation.

My name is Marisola Xhelili, and I am a PhD candidate in philosophy at Marquette University. My primary philosophical interest is in identity formation in the context of social/political conflict. Poetry, anatomy, and traveling are also of great significance to me. This is a photograph of me in costume, right before a Bharatanatyam (a classical South Indian dance form) performance two years ago.

I’m Emily S. Lee, associate professor of philosophy in California State University, Fullerton. Here I am in Rio, Brazil. I travel so that I feel disoriented and don’t take the overdevelopment of the United States as the norm, but I wonder if I’m just partaking in the privilege of voyeuristic practices. I specialize in feminist philosophy, philosophy of race, and phenomenology. When I am not absorbed with questions about the relation between the social political material horizon and one’s sense of self, I make pots.

Fri, 08 Jun 2012 04:53:48 -0400

I’m Wendy Salkin. I am a Ph.D. student in philosophy at Harvard and a law student at Stanford. I mostly work in social and political philosophy (particularly on philosophical theories of race and gender) and philosophy of law (particularly on philosophical theories of criminal law). I’m daily growing more interested in neuroethics and mental health law.

Nowadays, I spend my free time practicing yoga, running, cycling, traveling, cooking, singing, watching films, and teaching at San Quentin State Prison with the Prison University Project. I do New York Times crossword puzzles, but not nearly as well as my father. It’s unclear which one of us is the better Scrabble player. I remain an amateur ukulele player.

My name is Scott Davison. I like to make things and fix things, especially things in houses, and I run a lot. I live in a tiny town in a national forest with four people who are dear to me and this rabbit. I think that everything that exists deserves respect in some way, and I defend this conclusion in my recent book, On the Intrinsic Value of Everything.

I’m Susanne Bobzien. I used to be professor of philosophy at Yale and have just been appointed to a Senior Research Fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford – my dream job come true. In my research I focus on vagueness, ancient logic and determinism and freedom. I love being a philosopher, because it suits my contrasting desires of spending time by myself, dissecting intricate problems, and spending time with others, debating and sharing ideas. When I don’t do philosophy, I play the piano, absorb the colour, texture, furriness, sound and scent of nature and art, and get involved in the odd social and political causes. The photo was taken by Nathan in May 2012 in Zaragoza, on the way to a workshop on vagueness in Pamplona.

I’m Margaret Moore. I’m currently a post-doc at the University of Leeds, as part of the AHRC project Method in Philosophical Aesthetics: The Challenge from the Sciences. I work on the philosophy of music, aesthetics, and the philosophy of mind (primarily on imagination), but also have interests in mathematics and logic. This picture was taken in my sister’s high school classroom. She’s a Spanish teacher, and she makes her students wear this hat on their birthday. That’s my nephew, Tony. Fiesta!
