Amy Ward
Student Intern, BA Philosophy student, Mount Allison University
Working on her undergrad degree in New Brunswick, Canada, Amy recently discovered the Quartet in a class on the history of analytic philosophy. She is particularly interested in finding ways of making philosophy more accessible and applicable to real life, and she enjoys exploring the ways philosophy can be paired with artistic expression (especially in literature, music, and podcasts).

Nav Aithani
Student Intern, 2020
Nav is a Durham Social Sciences undergraduate, drawn to the Quartet after reading Murdoch’s “The Idea of Perfection”. He joined the programme to explore the context in which these four philosophers fundamentally changed the landscape of modern philosophy, and what this teaches us about how we ought to teach and learn. He is also interested in the application of philosophical propositions to their logical ends in fields like economics and anthropology.

Greg McElwain
Professor, The College of Idaho
Greg McElwain is Associate Professor and Chair of Philosophy and Religious Studies at The College of Idaho, USA. His research focuses on the thought of Mary Midgley and the intersection of animal and environmental ethics. He is author of Mary Midgley: An Introduction (Bloomsbury, 2019) and collaborated with Midgley during the final years of her life.

Amber Perera
Student, Durham University
Amber is in the third year of her English and Philosophy BA. She was drawn to the quartet by Anscombe’s ‘Intentionality of sensation’ and stayed for Midgely’s Gaia and Murdoch’s novels! She is interested in the intersection between the philosophy of action and the philosophy of Psychiatry.
