I am a philosopher working on issues in aesthetics, epistemology, and the philosophy of history.

I am a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.

My research focuses on how aesthetic concerns shape inquiry, how we learn things from art, how we work out our place in history, and how philosophy might make us more creative.

To find out more about my current research, have a look at my publications (or you can hear me talk about my work here, here, and here). For a non-technical introduction to some of my work, have a look at this. For a list of recent talks, teaching engagements, and other activities, see my CV. For anything else, feel free to send me an email.

As well as working in philosophy, I am also a practising artist. You can find out about my other life here.
