Jules Holroyd is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Sheffield, affiliated with the School of History, Philosophy and Digital Humanities. Their work bridges political philosophy, moral psychology, and social philosophy, with a focus on implicit bias, epistemic injustice, and institutional racism.
After completing a PhD in Philosophy at Sheffield (2004-2008), they held positions at Churchill College, Cambridge (Junior Research Fellowship), Cardiff University (2009-2011), and University of Nottingham (2012-2015). Since 2016, they have been a Vice-Chancellor's Fellow at Sheffield, becoming Senior Lecturer in 2022.
Their research examines how implicit biases perpetuate oppression, including projects funded by the Leverhulme Trust (2014-2017) and collaborations with psychologists and legal scholars. A central project investigates how praise can unintentionally reinforce injustice, culminating in a 2025 book and key articles in Feminist Philosophy Quarterly and Noûs.
Their recent publications (2025-2023) focus on oppressive praise and implicit bias, often addressing intersections of gender, race, and epistemic injustice. Earlier works (2022-2015) explored moral responsibility, collective vices, and decolonization in philosophy.
