About

I am a Research Fellow at King's College London in the Dickson Poon School of Law. My research generally focuses on liberalism, paternalism, and applied ethics. In particular, I'm interested in the moral status of paternalism, public reason, civility, and content-moderation on social media platforms. 

Before joining King's, I was a Research Fellow at University College London. Prior to that, I did my DPhil in Philosophy at Oxford University, a MPhil in Philosophy at Cambridge University and my undergraduate degree in Philosophy at the University of St Andrews.

Public Philosophy

I write philosophy and politics essays  on my Substack --> 'Unchambered'. 

From 2022-2025 I co-hosted the Philosopher's Nest podcast (with Lewis Williams). Together, we interviewed philosophy PhD students and asked them about their research and experiences in the (weird) world of academic philosophy. 

I've also appeared on UCL 's Uncovering Politics Podcast talking about my paper on echo chambers and civility.
