Jeremy Weate (born in September 1969 in Wheaton Aston) studied philosophy at the University of Hull, the University of Liège and the University of Warwick, graduating with a PhD in European philosophy from Warwick in 1998. His PhD thesis was Phenomenology and Difference: the Body, Architecture and Race.
Weate is the author of the children's book A Young Person's Guide to Philosophy,[1] which was published by Dorling Kindersley in 1998 and translated into 9 languages.
After completing his PhD, Weate became an international development consultant, focusing on transparency, accountability and good governance in the extractive industries. He has worked in over twenty-five countries across Africa and Asia on projects related to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative,[2] policy and legal frameworks as well as political economy analyses.
During his time living in Nigeria, Weate worked closely with Dele Olojede to set up NEXT, a pioneering newspaper that aimed to raise standards in Nigerian journalism and challenge vested interests. Weate also co-founded Cassava Republic Press with his partner Bibi Bakare-Yusuf, one of the most influential publishing companies in Africa.[3] He has also written a number of articles about African literature.[4]
After fifteen years as an international development consultant, Weate switched careers and now runs an ibogaine-assisted retreat centre - - in Portugal. He is also Executive Director of the Global Ibogaine Therapy Alliance. Weate was featured in a December 2017 article on ibogaine in The Observer[5] and was one of the organisers of the European Ibogaine Forum in Vienna in 2017.[6]
He is also a keen film-maker, currently working on two projects - one about an abandoned airfield near Wheaton Aston,[7] and the other a documentary about ibogaine - The Ibogaine Stories.[8]
