About

I am a Professor in the School of Philosophy at University College Dublin, where I have taught since 1992.  I did my PhD at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, writing my dissertation on Problems of Substance: Hume & Kant on Perception & Object.  My supervisors were Jay F. Rosenberg & Simon Blackburn (1992).  

I graduated from Georgetown University in 1985 and Needham High School, Mass. in 1981.  I grew up in Needham, just outside Boston, and have been living in Ireland since 1992 (dual citizen).  You can contact me at:

• and last but not least, my large public high school, Needham High, up on the hill, 1978–1981:
