Filipa Paes

Filipa joined the DPhil program in October 2022.

Filipa's research focuses on law, language and interpretation, paying particular attention to ambiguity in language, such as that which can be found in degree expressions (i.e., grading and gradable expressions). Her DPhil is being supervised by Professor Timothy Endicott.

Her wider research interests fall within analytic jurisprudence, philosophy of language and private law theory. Filipa is particularly interested in word-meaning and conceptual analysis. She is a founding and executive member of The Collective of Women in Legal Philosophy, a group created to promote and support women in legal philosophy and legal theory, and currently co-convenes the Oxford Jurisprudence Discussion Group (2023-2024).
