Hello <insert name>! I've recently been employed as a teaching fellow at The University of Sheffield, the best city in the UK, and if you're looking me up it might be because you met me there. Before working in Shef I spent a decade being a lecturer in philosophy at Queen's University, Belfast. I've also worked in the philosophy depts at the universities of Aberdeen, Wolverhampton, and Birmingham. If I taught you at any of these places, drop me a line, keep in touch, I move around a lot, it's hard to make sure everyone knows where I am, I'm still happy to write a reference for you yes yes.
Between 2014/5 and 2022 I was the Director of the British Philosophical Association. Here's the very helpful BPA website. I'd love to tell you more about what they do (ASK ME ABOUT THE BPA), but also go and look at that site as well, or at the BPA twitter feed.
I've been a member of the Analysis Trust's steering committee; one of the many great things they do is award an annual postdoctoral fellowship in philosophy, that's something that is really worth knowing about. If you're a student who's near the end of your PhD in philosophy you should think about applying to this scheme. Feel free to ask me about it, I can say encouraging things.
The tab labelled 'research' above has some links to some of my older published work. The files are .pdf documents of penultimate pre-publication proofs of my published papers. The publication details can be found by clicking through to my PhilPapers profile page here.
The tab labelled 'teaching' above has something to do with my present or past teaching responsibilities. Most of the resources I teach with are locked inside my (former) employer's 'virtual learning environment', but if you're interested in seeing any course outlines, video lectures or whatever, please just drop me a line. I have a philosophy of teaching which is something like this: let's share resources, talk about what we do, and make all of our courses better.
The tab labelled 'podcast' is all about an audio series that I made which was a showcase of a set of interesting contemporary ideas in philosophy. It was called 'Generous Questions'. It's now 'archived', which is to say that I'm no longer making it or paying for it to be hosted on the podcast server, but it's easy enough to listen to past episodes because the internet itself seems to have saved the audio.
I decided to put an academic CV on here even though I feel weird about doing so. I haven't quite pinned down what's generating that sense of weirdness yet, but at the very least: (i) CVs are strange things, (ii) you're supposed to change them every time you apply for a different post, and so (iii) it seems a little peculiar to put a semi-static one online. Anyway, have a lol. [cv 2021.pdf]
