Out of Time is a monograph with Kristie Miller and Jonathan Tallant forthcoming in 2022 with Oxford University Press. The book argues that time, in the everyday sense that underwrites morality and agency, may not exist. The book draws on work in experimental philosophy, physics and metaphysics in order to defend the possibility that ours is a timeless world.

My text book with Kristie Miller is available now from Polity Press. The book is designed around courses that Kristie and I have taught at the University of Western Australia and the University of Sydney. Each chapter gets progressively harder, and so the book can be used as both an undergraduate text and a postgraduate guide.
Available here.
