Professor Clare Chambers
I am Professor of Political Philosophy and Fellow of Jesus College at the University of Cambridge. I’m a political philosopher specialising in feminist theory, contemporary liberal theory, theories of social justice, theories of social construction, and bioethics.
My latest book, Intact: A Defence of the Unmodified Body is published by Allen Lane and is now out as a Penguin orange spine paperback. It’s available from all good bookshops including Blackwells and Waterstones, and is currently being translated into Korean and Chinese.
I’m also the author of:
Against Marriage: An Egalitarian Defence of the Marriage-Free State (Oxford University Press, 2017)
Sex, Culture, and Justice: The Limits of Choice (Penn State University Press, 2008)
Teach Yourself Political Philosophy: A Complete Introduction with Phil Parvin (Hodder, 2012)
The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Sex and Sexuality edited with Brian D. Earp and Lori Watson (Routledge, 2022)
My next book, Freedom & Equality: Essays on Liberalism and Feminism, is in press with Oxford University Press and will be published in March 2024. I’ve written numerous articles and chapters on political philosophy, and I make regular media appearances.
My agent is Sophie Scard at United Agents.
I’m not the novelist who’s written wonderful books like Small Pleasures.
