Roger Stephen Crisp (born 23 March 1961), is Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy at St. Anne’s College, Oxford. He holds the university posts of Professor of Moral Philosophy and Uehiro Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy. His work falls principally within the field of ethics, in particular metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics. In addition, he is Chairman of the Management Committee of the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics.
Originally from Brentwood, Essex, Crisp began his higher education at St. Anne’s College, Oxford in 1979, where he read Literae Humaniores. He was amongst the first male cohort to study at this previously all-female college. He was taught by, amongst others, Margaret Howatson, Gabriele Taylor, Iris Murdoch, and Peter Derow. In 1983 he commenced the B.Phil, and from 1985 until 1988 he worked on his D.Phil, writing his thesis on utilitarianism.
In 1986 Crisp began his first academic post, as a junior lecturer in philosophy at Magdalen College, Oxford; he returned to St. Anne’s for two years beginning 1987 as a lecturer in philosophy, before taking up a lecturing post at Hertford College, Oxford in 1988-1989. 1989-1991 saw Crisp move to University College, Oxford, as a British Academy Research Fellow and Honorary Junior Research Fellow. Finally, Crisp returned once more to St. Anne’s in 1991, to take up a permanent post as Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy, succeeding Gabriele Taylor. For the first time in his career, Crisp temporarily left Oxford and spent the academic year 2010-2011 at Boston University to explore his interest in the moral philosophy of Henry Sidgwick.
