Hello
I’m a philosopher, currently working in the Arché Philosophical Research Centre at the University of St Andrews.

Much of my research is in traditional and social epistemology, particularly where these areas connect with questions about psychology, ethics, law, and politics.
For the past few years I have been looking at the mental states, norms, and goals associated with inquiry in different settings—within individuals, in the courtroom, at the ballot-box, and within academic groups.
Lately, I’ve been researching responsibility, blame, and punishment — particularly the epistemology of responsibility-attributions, and how we hold people responsible differently in different contexts (e.g. legally v socially).
The art above is by Peder Balke, a Norwegian painter.
