About Me
I am a DPhil (PhD) Philosophy candidate at the University of Oxford in Oriel College under the supervision of Prof. Roger Crisp and Prof. Timothy Williamson. I am also the President of the Oriel College Middle Common Room (MCR) and the Waynflete Academic in Philosophy at Magdalen College School, Oxford. I work primarily in (Meta-)Metaphysics, Moral Philosophy, and their intersection. My doctoral research is generously funded by an Oxford Arts and Humanities Research Council Doctoral Training Partnership (Oxford AHRC DTP) Studentship.
I took the MPhil in Philosophy at the University of Cambridge (Darwin College) in 2016/17. My research at Cambridge was funded by a Darwin Philosophy Studentship, and my MPhil thesis was supervised by Prof. Matthew Kramer.
Before that, I read for the MLitt in Philosophy with Distinction at the University of St. Andrews, on the St. Andrews/Stirling Philosophy Graduate Programme (SASP) in 2015/16. I also achieved a Distinction (19.5/20) in my dissertation supervised by Dr. Justin Snedegar, and I was placed on the Deans' List for Academic Excellence. My tuition for this degree was funded by a Philosophical Quarterly Scholarship.
Prior to Oxford, Cambridge and St. Andrews, I was educated at St. Edward's School, Oxford (receiving both the Lower and Upper Sixth Form Philosophy Prizes), and I took a BA (Hons) in Philosophy at the University of Reading (with First Class Honours, the Philosophy Department Prize, the Laurie Brain Prize, and a Chancellor's Award). My undergraduate dissertation, awarded a Distinction (85), was supervised by Prof. Maximilian de Gaynesford and Prof. David S. Oderberg.
I currently serve as a Mentor on the Minorities and Philosophy UK (MAP UK) Mentoring Scheme. Amongst other positions I have held, I am the former President of the British Postgraduate Philosophy Association (2015-2016), and a former Postgraduate Representative on the Executive Committee of the British Philosophical Association (2015-2016). I am also the former President of the British Undergraduate Philosophy Society (2014-2015), a former Editor of the British Journal of Undergraduate Philosophy (2014-2015), and the former President of the University of Reading Philosophy Society (2013-2015, two-terms served). Finally, I am a member of the Stirling Bus Group, which comprises the wonderful philosophers I had the great fortune of sharing my MLitt year on the SASP with. Be sure to check them out!
