Louise Richardson
Senior Lecturer

I joined the department in 2012. Before that, I was a Junior Research Fellow at Christ Church, Oxford. I did my PhD at the University of Warwick and my MA and undergraduate degree (both in Philosophy) at the University of Durham.

My primary research interests are in philosophy of perception and philosophy of emotion, and in the philosophy of mind and philosophy of psychology more generally. 

My published papers in the philosophy of perception focus on non-visual perception, the perception of absence, and structural features of perceptual experience. In philosophy of emotion, I have published (both co-authored and single-authored) papers on a range of issues to do with grief, and on regret. I have also been exploring how philosophical work on grief can be employed to enhance public understanding of grief.
