Jessica Leech is a philosopher and Reader of Philosophy at King's College London. She joined the King's College London Philosophy department in 2016. She was previously a lecturer at the University of Sheffield, and a Junior Research Fellow at King's College, Cambridge.

Jessica’s research interests, contemporary and historical, centre around the topic of modality (possibility and necessity). She is interested in contemporary issues in the metaphysics of modality, such as the notion of essence, and the relationships between different kinds of necessity. She is also interested in exploring what Kant had to say about modality, and issues arising from that.
