About me
Hello! My name is Harry Alanen, and I am a philosopher.
In November 2022 I received my DPhil in Philosophy from the University of Oxford. Starting in August 2023 I will be a visiting Fulbright Scholar at the University of Pittsburgh, co-sponsored by a grant from Ella & Georg Ehrnrooth Foundation. For more information please see the page on my research, or read on for my educational background.

Education
In November 2022 I finished my DPhil in Philosophy at the University of Oxford (New College). My thesis – “Aristotle on Action and Agency” – was supervised by Ursula Coope, and examined by Stevie Makin and Michail Peramatzis. Prior to the DPhil I completed the MSt in Ancient Philosophy at Oxford, and before that a BA in Philosophy at University of Helsinki – my hometown.
During my time on the DPhil I have worked as a Stipendiary Lecturer in Ancient Philosophy at Christ Church College, teaching undergraduates topics ranging from Early Greek Philosophy to Philosophy of Mind. Throughout my time as a DPhil student I’ve also taught students a wide range of topics at various colleges.
In 2018 I spent a summer as a Visiting Doctoral Fellow at the University of Leipzig, while in 2017 I spent a term at Yale, working with David Charles.
