I’m currently a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Southampton, where I work on Prof. Genia Schönbaumsfeld’s ERC-funded project, The Ethics of Doubt: Kierkegaard, Scepticism, and Conspiracy Theory.
My research interests sit largely at the intersections epistemology and ethics, including virtue epistemology, knowledge-how, and epistemic normativity. Much of this work is motivated by considerations about how our intellectual conduct can go badly. I’m particularly interested in the nature of epistemic vice, incompetence, and ignorance.
