I'm a philosopher, essayist, and critic; right now, I'm an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford, and a Tutorial Fellow of Exeter College. From January 2025, I'll be Associate Professor of Philosophy at MIT. My CV is here.
In 2021, I won the Marc Sanders Prize in epistemology for my paper on dogmatism. In 2022, I took up a three year British Academy Wolfson Fellowship; I'm using that time to write a book about the epistemology and politics of narrative. You can read my book proposal here.
I write essays and reviews for places like The Times Literary Supplement, The Point, and The Boston Review. You can find my essays and reviews here.
Resources for students (reading lists, handouts, advice etc) are all available here. (Other instructors should feel free to use them; just credit me where appropriate.)
