Teresa Marques - Biography#

I completed my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Stirling (2004), the M.Litt in Philosophy at the University of St. Andrews (1997), and a BA in Philosophy in the University of Lisbon (1994).

I first joined the University of Barcelona (UB) in 2017 as the PI of a grant of the Spanish Science Ministry, and have been a tenured member of the Philosophy Faculty since December 2021. At the moment, I’m co-PI of a state funded project at the UB, on the philosophy of hybrid representations, and the coordinator of outreach in the Barcelona Institute of Analytic Philosophy’s María de Maeztu Research Programme on the role and importance of evidence.

In the last 10 years, my work has focused mostly on the philosophy of disagreement, contextualism and relativism, speech acts, conceptual variability, conative attitudes and their linguistic expression, derogatory speech, hate speech, and propaganda.

I have 17 publications since 2018, including 7 papers in specialty journals, 8 chapters in edited collections with publishing houses like OUP or Routledge. I co-edited a book with OUP on conceptual variability, one with Routledge on legal and philosophical perspectives on collective action. I have 4 articles forthcoming in 2024, and 3 others are revised and resubmitted.

The output of my work is significant in philosophy. My Scopus and my Researcher ID h-indices are both 8. My Google scholar h-index is 14, with a total of 656 citations, of which 461 since 2019. I've delivered 38 keynote or invited lectures since 2018. I have organized more than 10 international conferences and workshops, and I regularly engage in outreach actions.

I have taught at undergraduate and graduate level at the University of Barcelona, the University Pompeu Fabra, the University of Lisbon, and the University of Maryland (Global Campus). I have mentored 4 postdocs since 2019, supervised 4 PhD student (2 ongoing) and 4 masters students. I’m now the coordinator of the APhil master program (in Analytic Philosophy) at the University of Barcelona.

I was editor of the journal Disputatio (2009 - 2017), and I’m the subject editor for philosophy of language at Thought - a Journal of Philosophy. I was a member of the Steering Committee of the European Society for Analytic Philosophy (2014 - 2017, 2017 - 2020, and 2020 - 2023). I have also served as a reviewer for national and European research programmes.
