I'm an associate professor at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Nottingham and previously worked at Durham and Leeds.
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:
I'm an advocate of the diversification of philosophy. I also serve on the Executive Committee of the British Philosophical Association.

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