Most of my interests are somewhere in the intersection of philosophy of mind and action, epistemology, and moral psychology (in the old-fashioned sense). I first came to Warwick in 2018 with a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship, with a project entitled Epistemological Pluralism. I have been on the faculty since 2019 and am currently Associate Professor. Before coming to Warwick, I held teaching and research positions in Oxford (2016-18) and Edinburgh (2015-16). And before that, I completed my PhD in Cambridge (2015), under the supervision of Jane Heal.

Specific issues I have published on and/or am currently thinking about include:

• Practical knowledge / agents’ knowledge of intentional action
• Practical reasoning: how it relates to intention, and to action
• The structure of intention
• The relationship between ‘practical’ knowledge how to φ and ‘practical’ knowledge that one is φ-ing (when one is doing so intentionally)
• Elizabeth Anscombe’s action-theory, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and ethics
• Psychological self-knowledge (esp. expression-based and constitutivist approaches)
• The varieties of knowledge, and what unity there may or may not be between these varieties – esp. as this relates to a) the category knowledge very generally, and b) the sub-category of propositional knowledge
• The relationship between a ‘piece’ of propositional knowledge and the ‘body’ of knowledge of which it is part
• Philosophical methodology (esp. in phil. mind, action, and epistemology)
• The relationships between self-knowledge, testimony, and knowledge of other minds
• Psychopathology, incl. pathologies of agency
• Action-theoretical questions about acting (i.e. what actors do – e.g. on the telly)

For a sense of what I think about some of these issues, click on the links in the publication list below, or visit my academia.edu page or look me up on philpapers. If you’d like to read anything you can’t get hold of that way, or if you’re interested in any of the above ideas but don’t know where to look, email me.

I am Deputy Director of the Warwick Mind and Action Research Centre. Beyond Warwick, I am an Associate Editor for Philosophical Explorations, and a member of the Action Network.

Teaching: I teach undergraduate Epistemology (PH252) and MA Topics in Epistemology and Metaphysics (PH997) and (in some years) Research Methods (PH9F2).

Research supervisory interests: I welcome enquiries about research supervision and post-doc project mentoring on topic in my areas of specialism. Feel free to email me if you think your project might be a good fit.
