I'm an assistant professor at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Nottingham, having previously worked at Durham and Leeds.
My current teaching and research is about virtues and vices, misanthropy, using philosophy to help people cope with illness and suffering, and some themes in Buddhist and Chinese philosophy (mainly Ruism and Daoism).
I'm also active in efforts to improve the intellectual and demographic diversity of philosophy. To that end, I contribute to The Philosopher's Cocoon and The Deviant Philosopher and serve on the Executive Committee of the British Philosophical Association.
