Anne Phillips FBA (born 2 June 1950)[1] is Emeritus Professor of Political Theory at the London School of Economics (LSE), where she was previously Graham Wallas Professor of Political Science.
[3] Her field is feminist political theory;[4] she writes on issues of democracy and representation, equality, multiculturalism, and difference.
In 2002–4, she carried out a Nuffield funded research project on tensions between sexual and cultural equality in the British courts.
[5][6] She later worked with Sawitri Saharso, Vrije Universiteit (Free University), Amsterdam, on a cross European collaboration (also funded by Nuffield) that has explored issues of gender and culture in their specifically European context.
This involved two conferences, one in London in 2005 and the other in Amsterdam in 2006, and led to a special issue of the journal Ethnicities (2008).
