Philosophy

You’ll be allocated two supervisors, with additional staff members available if necessary. Our supervisors are experienced in most areas of philosophy, including modern European philosophy, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, feminist philosophy, ancient philosophy, philosophy of art, philosophy of religion and ethics.

We’ll provide you with a rich and stimulating research environment with strong links to research networks in Anglia Ruskin and the wider community, including the University of Cambridge's Centre for Research into Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH). Our department hosts the Labour History Research Unit and contributes to the Policing Institute for the Eastern Region (PIER) and the StoryLab Research Institute.

We also host and take part in many research events, including regular Faculty and departmental research seminars, where you’ll be able to present your research in a safe and supportive setting. These events, along with our online environment, will help you connect with other research students from a range of disciplines.

All your subject-specific studies will be enhanced and supported by our University-wide training sessions, where you’ll gain important research expertise in areas like ethics, presentations, intellectual property and digital scholarship.
