Judith Still

Judith Mary Still FBA (born 1958) is Emeritus Professor of French and Critical Theory at the University of Nottingham.

[1] She earned her PhD from University College London in 1985 with a thesis titled The code of beneficence in the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau : a study of the precariousness of justice in relations between non-equals : with special reference to pudicity.

[2] Her research focuses on the 18th and 20th centuries, and "is informed by feminist and poststructuralist theory (in particular the work of Jacques Derrida, Hélène Cixous and Luce Irigaray)".

[3] Reflecting on her election, she expressed her hope to contribute to the Academy's diversity, as a woman and a critical theorist but also "in that I was first in my family to go to University, supported by a loving single mother and a State that gave me a full and unconditional grant throughout my studies".
