Biography
?I am presently on the scientific board of the British Society for the Theory of Knowledge and on the editorial board of the multidisciplinary open access journal, Margaret Cavendish. From 2018-2023, I was the Director of the Mind Association. From 2016-2019, I was Head of Department. In 2015, I spent the autumn semester as a Visiting Scholar with the Department of Philosophy at Northwestern University. Before joining 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 in 2007, I studied and then held a lectureship at the University of Reading. Long before that, I grew up on the north coast of Cornwall.
I now live by the beach in Pokesdown (in Boscombe (in Bournemouth)). I am married to Hayley, the Heritage Archive and Research Manager for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. We have two sons - Elliot and Stanley.
