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
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.
