Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Sheffield
Jules is a senior lecturer at the University of Sheffield. Their research is in social and moral philosophy.
Much of Jules' previous research has focused on implicit gender and racial biases – automatic patterns of thought that can lead us to stereotype and discriminate. Jules has written on the ways in which we, and institutions in which we participate, perpetuate injustices, and what to do about it – their research has examined notions such a discrimination, collective vices, and integrity in criminal justice. This research spans the topics of political philosophy, moral psychology and social philosophy (in particular, feminist philosophy and philosophy of race). Their current work focuses on how praise, in response to achievements - which philosophers have typically assumed to be a benefit - might instead sometimes perpetuate oppression and injustice.
Jules has led interdisciplinary research projects (with psychologists) that have investigated how to address implicit biases (with a Leverhulme Trust Project Grant, 2014-2017), and worked with legal scholars in exploring the implications of this research for legal concepts and practice. More recently Jules received a fellowship from the Mind Association to complete a book on praise.
Jules has had the opportunity to use this research in a range of contexts, such as with members of the judiciary and the civil service in the UK; in making policy recommendations within higher education institutions regarding parental leave policies and practice; developing gender inclusion policies to guide interactions between staff and students in higher education; and reviewing policies regarding recognition and promotion.

I helped to convene a Citizen's Jury to provide recommendations to government for improved regulation of the fast-food sector.
