Dr Alison Ainley is Head of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences and Principal Lecturer, teaching in Philosophy. Her main areas of interest include phenomenology, ethics, psychoanalysis, and feminist philosophy, and she has written variously on Heidegger, Levinas, Aristotle, Simone de Beauvoir and Freud. She also wrote a number of entries for Ted Honderich's Oxford Companion to Philosophy. Her most recent research project has been concerned with 'weakness of will' in ethical theory, or what happens when we fail to do the right thing; and Simon de Beauvoir's work on old age.

Alison teaches classical philosophy, aspects of Western civilisation, psychoanalytic theory and critical thinking on various modules at Anglia Ruskin. She is a member of the Society for Women in Philosophy and the British Society of Phenomenology.
