Biography[edit]

She began working at the University of Durham in 2014, before which she held various research posts at Heidelberg] Tilburg, and Amsterdam.

Unlike most analytic philosophers, Uckelman takes a highly historical approach. She has remarked that medieval philosophers and logicians were interested in the same fundamental questions that concern modern scholars: 'What are the different ways that we can know things? What is the relationship between demonstration (proof), testimony, and knowledge? What are the communicative consequences of our knowledge? What is the relationship between knowledge, uncertainty, and ignorance? ... The fundamental questions are the same but the ways in which they seek to answer them are different, and provide a fresh way of looking at the issues, and often spark new and innovative solutions.'[2]

In 2017, Uckelman co-founded the Durham Centre for Ancient and Medieval Philosophy, which she currently co-directs. She is the editor-in-chief of the Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources; a . She is an associate editor for the Journal of Logic, Language and Information

Outside of academia, Uckelman is a keen writer of fiction, and many of her stories have been published.[3] She is the founder and main editor of the science fiction and fantasy review site, SFF Reviews, and a first reader for Cosmic Roots and Eldritch Shores.
