I am a Senior Lecturer in philosophy at the University of York, teaching modules in logic, metaphysics, the philosophy of language and the philosophy of science. Before that, I was a Research Fellow at the University of Stirling. And before that, I did my PhD at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge.
I work primarily on foundational issues in philosophical logic and metaphysics. I have written extensively on higher-order metaphysics; the running theme throughout that work is that the early analytic period still has lots of valuable lessons for contemporary metaphysics. The aim of my current project is to develop a version of the identity theory of truth. According to the version that I prefer, the world is thinkable: the world is not just something that we think about; the world is itself something that can be thought.
