Eliza Starbuck Little

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at Auburn University. Starting in Fall 2023, I will be Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick. I received my PhD in 2020 from the University of Chicago’s Committee on Social Thought, where I completed a dissertation on Hegel’s account of self-consciousness. My current research focuses on Hegel’s theories of mind and perception, the role of artworks in human life, and Simone de Beauvoir’s philosophy of mind.

My scholarship is driven by a particular commitment to practicing philosophy across disciplinary lines. Prior to starting my PhD, I completed a project year thesis on medieval Christian and Islamic receptions of Aristotelian mimesis at the European College of Liberal Arts in Berlin, an MA in the history of Western thought at St. John’s College Annapolis, and a BA in Politics at Oberlin College.
