Hello
I’m a philosopher, currently Fellow of Philosophy & Public Policy in the
Department of Philosophy, Logic & Scientific Method at the London School of Economics.
Before this I lived in a small town by the sea, working in the Arché Philosophical Research Centre at the University of St Andrews.

[Art above by Peder Balke]
I have broad philosophical interests, but much of my work concerns where epistemology connects to questions about ethics, law, and politics.
A common theme of this work is looking at the aims and norms of inquiry in different contexts—individuals asking questions, courts evaluating evidence, voters deciding via the ballot-box, and academic groups making new discoveries.
