Dr Elizabeth Mackintosh is a Visiting Research and Knowledge Exchange Fellow at the University of Winchester and an Associate Lecturer, and has taught at the University regularly since 2015. Her background is in both philosophy and theology, though her methodology and research are philosophical.
Her research has increasingly focused on the work of the late British philosopher Mary Midgley, and she has recently submitted a chapter for a Palgrave Macmillan book on Midgley’s Philosophy due for publication in 2025, focussing specifically on bioethics. She will be presenting a paper on her research into Philosophy and Listening at the British Society for History of Philosophy Annual Conference in April. This current research is also bringing her back to her theology roots as she is coming to think again about her studies into a theology of listening and how this has often been neglected in Western theology.
Her overarching research focus is in moral philosophy, medical ethics and also the intersection of animal and environmental ethics in environmental philosophy.
