Biography

I obtained my PhD from the University of Warwick in 2004. From 2004 to 2012 I worked in the Philosophy Department at the University of Dundee. I joined the Aberdeen Philosophy Department in January 2013.

Research Interests

I work primarily on the history of philosophy, particularly Spinoza and Kant, and its relationship to recent continental philosophy.

I am director of the Spinoza Research Network, an interdisciplinary group of over 200 Spinoza researchers worldwide. Starting in 2013 I will be Principal Investigator for "Equalities of Wellbeing in Philosophy and Architecture", a 3-year AHRC-funded interdisciplinary project on Spinoza's concept of proportion.

I also do interdisciplinary research on philosophy and museums: I currently hold a research fellowship with the Centre for Arts and Humanities Research at the Natural History Museum, London.
