Stella Sandford

Stella Sandford is Professor of Modern European Philosophy in the Department of Humanities at Kingston University's Kingston School of Art. Her research traverses philosophy of sex/gender, critical race theory (especially Kantian legacies), psychoanalysis, and emerging work in plant philosophy. She recently completed a Leverhulme-funded project on 'Sex Difference in Natural History', resulting in the monograph Vegetal Sex: Philosophy of Plants (2022).

Sandford employs historical and interdisciplinary approaches to critique transcendental philosophy through systems of classification (Lévy-Strauss, Aristotle). She teaches across English Literature and Philosophy programs and serves on the British Philosophical Association Executive Committee.
