The Philosophy Department at the University of Glasgow is delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Robin Zheng, who will be joining us from 5 January 2022.

Dr Zheng received her PhD in Philosophy from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2015, after which she took up a Junior Research Fellowship at the University of Cambridge.  Since 2016, she has been assistant professor at Yale-National University of Singapore College.

Her research ranges across ethics, moral psychology, feminist and social philosophy, focusing mainly on issues of moral responsibility, gender, and race. She is an Associate Editor of Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy, and a member of the American Philosophical Association Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion, as well as the American Philosophical Association Task Force on a Best Practices Scheme.

We are delighted to have secured this appointment which will make a strong contribution to our teaching and research.  We look forward to welcoming Dr Zheng in January.
