Welcome

I'm a philosopher based at the University of Sydney in the Discipline of Philosophy in the School of Humanities.

I am interested in a wide range of philosophical topics, but tend to think and write about issues in political philosophy, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language.

In political philosophy, I have published work on educational justice, the relationship between democracy and social equality, and on questions related to political legitimacy and Indigenous justice. In the philosophy of mind, I have published on our knowledge of our own minds and our knowledge of our own reasons for acting and holding particular attitudes. In the philosophy of language, I have published on the syntax and semantics of why-questions.

I have several research projects underway at the moment. One on philosophical issues relating to educational justice; another on the nature of political legitimacy and its application to Indigenous issues; and another on the nature of first-person thought and, more broadly, the role of perspectival thought in the humanities.

To find out more about my current and published research, visit my research page.

I regularly teach two units at the University of Sydney, PHIL2635 Contemporary Political Philosophy and the July Intensive iteration of PHIL1012 Introductory Logic. Starting Semester 2, 2025, I will be regularly teaching half of BPPE1000 Introduction to PPE.

I am currently the convenor of the University of Sydney Philosophy Seminar Series for which I maintain the following website. Contact me if you are a philosopher passing through Sydney and would like to present something in the seminar series.

I live in Sydney with my partner and our three children.

You can find me on PhilPapers here and on PhilPeople here.
