Laura Martin is a Collegiate Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at the University of Chicago, affiliated with the Society of Fellows. She holds a PhD from Columbia University (2020) and joined UChicago in 2023 after teaching at Northwestern University. Her research focuses on social and political philosophy, feminist theory, and 19th-20th century European thought, particularly Hegel, Marx, and Beauvoir. She examines how oppressive systems constrain freedom while leaving room for collective liberation.
Her work critiques how oppressive practices co-opt desires for status and recognition. Current projects include analyzing the public’s role in social change and developing a social conception of freedom for feminist theory.
Publications include Ergo (2024) and a chapter in The Unique, the Singular, and the Individual (2022). No awards are explicitly listed, but her scholarship bridges continental and analytic traditions in philosophy.
Her advising and grant activities are not detailed, though her research emphasizes interdisciplinary engagement with feminist and critical theory. She is part of the Philosophy Department’s efforts to integrate historical and contemporary social philosophy.
