We are pleased to announce that Ella Whiteley will join the LSE Philosophy Department as Assistant Professor.

Ella Whiteley’s primary research interests lie in ethics and political philosophy. Ella specialises in the normative dimensions of salience and attention, exploring how the structuring of minds, language, and the social world can cause and constitute bias and oppression. Ella also engages with the philosophy of labour; they are interested in which kinds of work don’t get counted as ‘labour’, and the mechanisms by which their status gets obscured.

Ella received their MPhil and PhD from the University of Cambridge, before becoming a researcher on the ‘Invisible Labour Project’ in Cambridge, and then a Fellow in Philosophy at the LSE. Ella is currently a Lecturer in PPE at the University of Sheffield.
