  • Epistemic injustice and illness bibliography
  • Public philosophy

Most of my current research concerns moral and epistemic virtues and vices, misanthropy (on which I am writing a book) and pessimism, philosophy and mortality, epistemic injustice and illness, and south and east Asian philosophies, especially Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism. I currently teach philosophy and mortality, aesthetics, and Buddhist philosophy. 


My main research projects at the moment:
  • Epistemic injustice and illness.
  • Misanthropy and pessimism - I defend a form of both of these.

From 2023-2029, I am a co-investigator on the Wellcome-funded project Epistemic Injustice in Health Care (EPIC).
​
​​​I'm an advocate of the diversification of philosophy. I also serve on the Executive Committee of the British Philosophical Association.
