Research
My research is in epistemology, including social and applied epistemology, and the ethics of belief. I also have interests in philosophy of mind, ethics, and metaphysics, especially their intersections. You can find out more about my research here.
I organize the department's Theoretical Philosophy Research Group, and serve on the OZW committee for Theoretical Philosophy.
I'm part of the ERC Extreme Beliefs project. I'm also part of the DFG Thinking about Suspension network.
