About Me
I am currently working as full-time Stipendiary Lecturer in Philosophy at Magdalen College, Oxford. In August 2014 I completed a DPhil (PhD) in the philosophy of time at St. Hilda’s College, Oxford, supervised by John Hawthorne (Oxford) and Cian Dorr (NYU) and examined by Timothy Williamson (Oxford) and Dean Zimmerman (Rutgers). The title of my thesis is Permanents: In Defence of the Moving Spotlight Theory. Between Oct 2011 and Jan 2013 I worked as Research Assistant to Timothy Williamson, helping him with his book Modal Logic as Metaphysics (OUP, 2013).
Before undertaking the DPhil, I completed the BPhil in Philosophy at Exeter College, Oxford (2008/09-2009/10). My BPhil thesis, which was awarded a Distinction, was supervised by John Hawthorne. Before that, I completed an MA in the philosophy of mind at University College, Cork, supervised by Joel Walmsley (Cork).
I have teaching experience in a number of different areas of philosophy, including introductory logic, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and political philosophy.
