Lloyd Strickland completed his B.A. at Lancaster University and his M.A. at the University of Sheffield, before returning to Lancaster where he obtained his PhD. Before joining the Department of Philosophy at UWL, he taught Philosophy at Lancaster University and the University of Central Lancashire. He has also worked as a Marketing Manager for an I.T. support company, and as a freelance I.T. consultant. His principal research interests are Early Modern European Philosophy, and Philosophy of Religion. He is currently working on two cognate projects; one is a monograph on Leibniz’s philosophical theology, the other is a scholarly anthology, in English, of Leibniz’s key philosophical writings on God and religion. He also runs a website which contains many of his translations of Leibniz's writings:www.leibniz-translations.com. He relaxes by lounging about.
