About

Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Nottingham.

I am also a Visiting Research Fellow on the ‘Knowledgeable Democracy’ project in Amsterdam, as well as an Honorary Fellow at the Institute of Philosophy in London. I hold a British Academy Rising Star Award for a project on 'The Role of Truth in Politics'. This allowed me to create the Political Epistemology Network. I received my PhD from the University of Cambridge (King’s College).

My work is about the relationship between knowledge and practical life. Oxford University Press just published my book, What's the Point of Knowledge?

My next project is a book about the role of truth in politics, intended for wide readership and impact beyond academia.

You can learn more about my research here.
