Teaching Background. I have taught a wide range of modules at Nottingham, Oxford, Warwick, and UCL, including: Logic; Epistemology; Philosophy of Mind; Normative Ethics; Metaethics; Practical Ethics; Kant; Early Modern Philosophy; and Existentialism. At Nottingham, I currently teach an advanced Undergraduate module Authenticity & Existentialism which is all about how to make sense of the ideal of authenticity, why it matters, and how the idea was interpreted by key thinkers in the Existentialist tradition. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, UK.Â
Research Student Supervision. I currently supervise several PhD students at Nottingham, in the areas of Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Action, and Metaethics. For those students interested in coming to work with me at Nottingham, don't hestitate to reach out to talk Philosophy.
Advice for Students. Jim Pryor (NYU) has some useful advice for students on how to read and write philosophy papers. Undergraduate students might also wish to look at the journal Think which publishes articles with undergraduates and non-specialists in mind. Philosophy Compass is similar, but with an emphasis on survey articles. Students who have trouble formatting their bibliographies and references might find this document useful.
