I work at the intersection of ethics, philosophy of action and epistemology, and have long-standing research interests in legal and political philosophy, and Ancient Greek philosophy. My research programme develops a distinctive Aristotelian approach to core agency concepts, including autonomy and responsibility as applied to a range of issues, such as moral luck, epistemic injustice and metal disorder.
