Research
My research is in epistemology, including social and applied epistemology. I also have interests in philosophy of mind, value theory, and metaphysics, especially their intersections. I'm currently writing a short book, The Philosophy of Indoctrination (Routledge, under contract).
I organize the department's Theoretical Philosophy Research Group.
I'm embedded within the ERC Extreme Beliefs project. Some relevant research includes "What's so bad about Echo chambers?", "Closed-minded belief and Indoctrination", and "Normativity in Studying Conspiracy Theory Belief". I'm currently pragmatic functions of belief and applied skepticism.
In philosophy of mind, my research is mostly about the value of experience and what this means for well-being, eudaimonia, and epistemic value. This includes "The Special Value of Experience" and "Erasing consciousness". I've also explored the nature of propositional seeing, in "Luck, Propositional Perception, and the Entailment Thesis".
I'm also part of the DFG Thinking about Suspension network.
