I'm a Marie Curie Fellow in philosophy at the University of Hertfordshire, UK, undertaking the project "Selves in Time" (2010-2012). Starting in February 2012 I'll be a lecturer in philosophy at Deakin University Melbourne, Australia.

I'm also an honorary fellow at the the University of Melbourne and have previously held research fellowships at the University of Copenhagen and St Olaf College, Minnesota.

My work sits at the intersections of the Continental and Analytic philosophical traditions, with research interests in 19th and 20th century European philosophy, personal identity, narrative selfhood, moral psychology, the metaphysics of death and remembrance, and philosophy of religion. A particular focus of my work has been bringing Kierkegaard into dialogue with contemporary analytic philosophy, while my current project explores temporal and perspectival aspects of the question of selfhood.

“...Stokes’s book is, without doubt, one of the, if not the, best account of Kierkegaard as a philosopher and moral psychologist ever written. Kierkegaard’s Mirrors is essential reading for anyone interested in Kierkegaard”

Kierkegaard and Death
KIERKEGAARD AND DEATH
Edited by Patrick Stokes and Adam Buben
Indiana University Press, 2011

"Starting from living death and the thought of death, and then moving through dying, recollecting the death of another, and finally future life, this volume brings together in a coherent way Kierkegaard's view on death and dying." - Andrew J. Burgess, University of New Mexico
