Jill Fellows is a PhD candidate in Philosophy at the University of British Columbia. Currently, she is researching the history of the subjective/objective distinction in Philosophy, focusing on the concept of objectivity. She aims to defend objectivity as an epistemic goal against philosophers like Richard Rorty who argue that it is a goal best discarded. She received her MA in Philosophy at the University of Calgary where she wrote a thesis on personal identity with reference to Alzheimer's disease and Dissociative Identity Disorder. Her BA was also in Philosophy, with a minor in Anthropology. Her philosophical interests are in Metaphysics and Epistemology with an historical focus, Continental Philosophy and Philosophy of Science. She also has interests in Aesthetics and Philosophy of Religion.
When not occupied by philosophical questions, she practices yoga, spins poi, sails, is an amateur fiction writer, and plays the flute.
