Assistant Professor of Philosophy Emily Fletcher completed her Ph.D. in Classics at the University of Toronto after obtaining her bachelor’s degree from Stanford University.

Her main field of research is Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy but she also interested in the broad cultural context of Ancient Philosophy. More specifically, she is interested in Ancient Greek Philosophy, especially ethics and moral psychology. She is currently working on several articles on pleasure and the good life in Plato’s Philebus, as well as a project on disease and the relationship between the soul and the body in Plato’s Timaeus. Her article "Plato on Pure Pleasure and the Best Life" is forthcoming in Phronesis.
