Career

Avramides has worked on the philosophy of language, and the philosophy of the mind, most recently focusing on the knowledge of other minds. For Avramides, this question is at the intersection of the philosophy of mind, epistemology, and metaphysics. She believes that the 'problem' of other minds is conceptual, rather than epistemological.[2][3]

Avramides is Southover Manor Trust Fellow in Philosophy, at St Hilda’s College, Oxford. She has also been a full-time lecturer at The Queen's College, Oxford, and a visiting lecturer at Bedford College, London.

She has held part-time lecturer positions at Balliol College, Exeter College and Oriel College, Oxford.[1]

Education

Avramides received her doctorate (D.Phil.) from the University of Oxford, Somerville and Queen's College. She did her M.Phil. from University College London, and completed her undergraduate BA degree from Oberlin College, United States.[1]
