In the past, my research has focused on historical treatments of issues relating doxastic control and responsibility, but recently I've gone empirical with 3 different projects.
First, I am in the process of developing empirical studies concerning the possibility of voluntary belief.
Second, I carried out a series of studies on whether non-scientists beliefs about science involve an element of faith, and the implication of this for the existence of a conflict between science and religion.
Third, I have been working for a number of years now on studies concerning the social epistemology of philosophical ethics.
