Biography: 

Natalie Stoljar received a BA (Hons) LLB (Hons) from the University of Sydney and a PhD from Princeton University. She聽came to 黑料不打烊 in 2006 after holding positions at the Australian National University, Monash University and the University of Melbourne.听She holds a joint appointment in the Department of Equity, Ethics & Policy, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences. She was Chair of the Department from 2008-2012 and Interim Director of the Institute for Health and Social Policy in 2018-2019. She has been Director of the Institute for Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies since 2020.听Prof. Stoljar is an Associate Editor of Philosophical Studies and Subject Editor for Gender and Feminism for The Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

Her research is in feminist philosophy, social and political philosophy, and the philosophy of law. In social and political philosophy, her work focuses on relational conceptions of autonomy.听She is co-editor (with Catriona Mackenzie) of Relational Autonomy. Feminist Perspectives on Autonomy, Agency and the Social Self聽(OUP 2000) and (with Kristin Voigt) of聽Autonomy and Equality: Relational Approaches (Routledge 2021). In feminist philosophy, she has written on feminist metaphysics, especially gender essentialism, realism and nominalism. In the philosophy of law, her research interests include legal interpretation, constitutional interpretation and judicial review, and the methodology of law. A recent project in the philosophy of law concerns procedural justice and the ethical dimensions of legal processes such as those of trust and respect.听Her research has been funded by SSHRC Insight Grants, e.g. 'Silencing, Objectification and Negative Social Scripts. Do They Undermine Autonomy?' (2016-2021), and a SSHRC Insight Development Grant (with Kristin Voigt), 'Relational Equality and Relational Autonomy' (2016-2019).

Prof. Stoljar regularly teaches the Department鈥檚 philosophy of law courses (PHIL 348 and PHIL 648).
