I received my doctorate in philosophy from the University of Warwick in February 2016, and have continued as a Sessional Teacher here. At present my research is focused on points of intersection between philosophy of mind, emotion and value. In particular I am interested in how distinctions and debates from contemporary philosophy of mind can find application in a new theory of emotions (e.g. conceptual vs. non-conceptual content; phenomenal intentionality; the attitude-content distinction). These interests grew out of my dissertation topic on Nietzsche’s philosophy of value, which included detailed chapters on his theory of emotions and values.
