Biography
Alison Stone is Professor of Philosophy at Lancaster University, UK. Her interests span the history of philosophy, post-Kantian European philosophy, feminist philosophy, and aesthetics. Her books include Being Born: Birth and Philosophy (2019), Frances Power Cobbe (2022) and Women Philosophers in Nineteenth-Century Britain (2023).
Charlotte Alderwick is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at UWE Bristol.

Charlotte is now working on Eco-philosophy and the contribution that historical philosophies of nature can make to this area.
