Website Profile Dr Avramides was educated in the United States and Britain. She received her B.A. in philosophy from Oberlin College, an M Phil in Philosophy from University College London, and a D. Phil. from The Queen's and Somerville College. She has been teaching at St Hilda's since 1990. From 2010 - 2013 she will serve as Vice Principal of St Hilda's College. Research Interests: Dr Avramides has published work in the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind. Her most recent research has been on the question of our knowledge of other minds. This question lies at the intersection of issues in the philosophy of mind, epistemology and metaphysics, and she has pursued her research accordingly. She has recently been interested in assessing the suggestion that we know other minds through perception. Overall, she is concerned to defend the idea that the 'problem' of other minds is conceptual, rather than epistemological. Courses Taught: Dr Avramides teaches a wide range of undergraduate courses including the philosophy of mind, the history of philosophy, epistemology, and moral philosophy. She is one of the lecturers in the undergraduate core lecture series for philosophy of mind, and for the core lectures on the history philosophy (Locke and Berkeley).
