I'm a PhD student of philosophy at the University of St Andrews and a member of Arché. My PhD project falls within the remit of Arché's Contextualism and Relativism Project. My supervisors are Prof. Herman Cappelen, Prof. François Recanati and Prof. Jason Stanley. The first 3 years of my PhD was funded partly by the AHRC and partly by an Arts and Divinity Research Scholarship from the University of St Andrews. At the moment, I am funded by an Analysis Trust Studentship. In 2005-06, I did my M.Litt degree in philosophy at the Univeristy of St Andrews. My M.Litt dissertation (pdf) was on analyticity, apriority and two-dimensional semantics. For more details including publications, presentations, and teaching, please see my CV (pdf). NEWS January 20th 2010: My paper on Williamson's argument for anti-exceptionalism about philosophical methodology based on equivalences between the modalities and the counterfactual was accepted at the Dublin Graduate Conference on Methodology to take place in March 2010. Williamson is the keynote - guess who will be refuted. December 19th 2009: My paper on the derivation of truth-conditional content in dynamic semantics was accepted at the UCLA/USC Graduate Conference to take place in February 2010. California - last time I was there was 14 years ago! November 2nd 2009: Having a reading group on static vs. dynamic semantics. Very useful so far. October 11th 2009: I'm attending Prof. Norbert Hornstein's (Maryland) class on Generative Linguistics, learning about Merge, Copy, Extension and other fun stuff. What - no traces?! Then what? August 17th 2009: I'll be giving talks at two conferences in September: SOPHA in Geneva and ENFA in Évora. From October to Christmas, I'll be visiting CSMN again. So it's going to be an exciting fall! June 9th 2009: I received word about a week ago that I have been awarded one of the Analysis Studentships for 2009-10. April 21st 2009: My paper, 'Intention-Sensitive Semantics', was published by Synthese Online First on Arpril 15th. Here it is. |
