Katrina Mitcheson
Katrina has interests in 19th and 20th European thought, including the work of Nietzsche, Freud, Foucault and Ricoeur. She is particularly interested in thinkers who explore problems and possibilities concerning how we understand, know and can work on and transform the self. Her publications to date have explored how various techniques or technologies of the self in the work of Nietzsche, Freud and Foucault address problems of the self, at the same time as addressing interpretative issues concerning their work. She has also published on the philosophy of photography and film and is currently exploring how art works can serve as technologies of the self. She is working on a new book project Visual Art and Projects of the Self, which will be published with Edinburgh University Press.

Dagmar Wilhelm
Dagmar has research Interests in moral, social and political philosophy (including analytic approaches), the Frankfurt School, 19th & 20th century German Philosophy, and Feminism.
Her work concerns the relation between the individual and the community and hence conceptions of 'autonomy', 'solidarity', 'recognition', along with notions of collective agency, 'collective consciousness' and collective responsibility. She is particularly interested in Nancy Fraser's three dimensional and Axel Honneth's recognition theoretical approaches to justice, as well as the latter's appropriation of Hegel and, increasingly, of Marx to provide an account of justice that remains faithful to an original Frankfurt School 'programme'. She is also investigating the notion and possibility of cosmopolitan solidarity, drawing on aspects of Honneth’s notion of solidarity and Habermas’ account of solidarity between strangers.
She also dabbles in epistemology, with a special interest in Frankfurt School and Feminist (including Frankfurt School Feminist) critiques of traditional and mainstream epistemology.
