I am a senior lecturer in philosophy in the School of Philosophical, Anthropological, and Film Studies at the University of St. Andrews. Information about my teaching and other activities can be found on my staff website.

I am generally interested in the philosophy of the human sciences, particularly those that connect philosophical views on identity with the understanding of social interactions. This interest has led me to the thought of Benedict de Spinoza – an early pioneer of philosophical anthropology. My other interests include philosophy of religion, political economy, British Idealism, and early Daoist texts, especially the Zhuangzi.
