Visiting Tutor in the Humanities Jill Fellows earned her PhD in Philosophy from the University of British Columbia. Her dissertation examined the history of the subjective/objective distinction in Philosophy, focusing on the concept of objectivity. She defended 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 Social Epistemology with an historical focus, Existentialism and Philosophy of Science. Her current research examines issues of trust and the relationship between individuals and institutions. When not occupied by philosophical questions, she hikes, practices yoga, spins poi, is an amateur fiction writer, and plays the flute.
