Undergraduate teaching
(On research leave for 24/25).
In 25/26 I will be teaching Morality and Value (year 1, semester 1) and Advanced Topics in Political Philosophy (Y4, semester 2).
Open to PhD supervision enquiries?
Yes
Areas of interest for supervision
I am happy to supervise projects in practical philosophy (broadly construed to encompass metaethics, normative ethics, applied ethics, value theory more generally, and the history of these). I am especially keen to supervise projects related to well-being in some way.
