Dr Adam Ferner has worked in academic philosophy both in France and the UK, but much prefers working outside the academy in youth centres and other alternative learning spaces.

He has published widely in philosophical and popular journals and has written four books, Organisms and Personal Identity (Routledge, 2016), Think Differently (Aurum, 2018) and – with Nadia Mehdi and Zara Bain – Crash Course: Philosophy (Ivy, 2019). His fourth book, How to Disagree (Aurum, 2019) is co-authored with Darren Chetty. He is currently co-writing his fifth book, Philosophical Empires, with Chris Meyns, forthcoming in 2020.

He is an associate editor of the Forum’s Essays. He is interested in co-authoring and writing collaborations where credit for intellectual labour is apportioned fairly and appropriately remunerated. With this in mind that he set up the Changelings writing group at a youth hub in Finsbury Park.
