'''Andrea Christofidou''' is Senior Lecturer in philosophy at Keble College and Lecturer in philosophy at Pembroke College, Oxford. She has taught philosophy at the University of Oxford since 1992, and at Keble since 2001. She previously held lectureships at Balliol and Worcester College.

In Oxford, she is best known for her undergraduate lectures on Descartes, which are widely regarded as lively and iconoclastic. She has published on the self, on the problem of consciousness and on Descartes, in all three areas arguing from a dualist perspective against the physicalist view, which has come to dominate Anglo-American or analytic philosophy.

Christofidou was born in [[Nicosia]], [[Cyprus]], moving with her family to England at the age of fifteen. Before 1979, when she started her philosophical studies, she worked in merchant banking in the City of London, supporting her mother and two brothers after the early death of her father. She received her B.Sc. in philosophy from City University, London and her M.A. and Ph.D from Birkbeck College, London. Her doctoral thesis was on "The Metaphysics of the Self: Self-Identification and Self-Ascription".

Aside from her philosophical interests, she has worked with Peter J. King on English translations of the poetry of [[Constantine P. Cavafy|K.P. Kavafis]] and [[Kostas Karyotakis]]. [http://users.ox.ac.uk/~shil0124/poems/nepenthe.htm] [http://users.ox.ac.uk/~shil0124/poems/flowers.htm]
