About me:

I am a second year PhD student at the Centre for the Study of Mind in Nature at the University of Oslo.

My topic of research is pragmatics and conceptual representation, or in plain words: language use and thought, and the relationship between the two. 

Specifically, I write on the mental and linguistic vocabulary of so-called non-perceptual objects, such as love, happiness and morality. I am interested in the way ordinary speakers think about, understand and speak of such things and aim to investigate this both theoretically and empirically (in due course).

I am trained at the Linguistics Department at the University College London, and at the Uni of Oslo Humanities Faculty.

Outside the academy, I maintain interests in sports (both doing and watching), music (performing, however badly, and listening) and food (eating and cooking).
