About

I am a Research Fellow in Political Philosophy at UCL's Digital Speech Lab. 

I recently completed my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Oxford, where I was also a graduate scholar at the Institute for Ethics in AI.  

Research

Generally, I work in ethics and political philosophy. The title of my DPhil thesis was Echo Chambers and Political Philosophy. It provided a politically liberal diagnosis and prescription for the problems posed by echo chambers. I'm also interested in the ethics of content-moderation, free speech, paternalism, public reason, self-respect and civility.

Public Philosophy

I'm also the co-host (with Lewis Williams) of the Philosopher's Nest podcast. Together, we interview philosophy PhD students and ask them about their work and experiences in the (weird) world of academic philosophy.
