Author Narrative:

1. Taken from her Academia.edu page:-
   • I am working at the intersection of metaphysics (broadly construed) and philosophy of biology.
   • My main focus is on developing a comprehensive bio-processual metaphysics of the human person¹ that acknowledges the fact that human persons² are organisms³ and, i.e., stabilised higher-order biological processes.
   • I want to show that a bio-processual perspective sheds new light on old metaphysical problems such as identity over time, agency and free will⁴.
   • This will eventually contribute to a more appropriate general metaphysical picture of the world, including scientifically-informed concepts⁵ of life, causation⁶ and time.
   • See Anne Sophie Meincke: Home Page for more information on my research topics.
2. She is the Editor, along with John Dupré of "Meincke (Anne Sophie) & Dupre (John), Eds. - Biological Identity: Perspectives from Metaphysics and the Philosophy of Biology", published on 26th August 2020. Unfortunately, the book costs over £100 in hardback.
3. It looks like she was known by her married name between 2012-14 when she was known as Anne Sophie Spann (nee Meincke). On Academia.edu she currently has (Spann) after her name.
4. She's a part of Elselijn Kingma's team at Southampton investigating the metaphysics of Pregnancy⁷. See Anne Sophie Meincke (Southampton University Page).
