I'm an academic philosopher. In August 2022 I began a postdoc at the AI&Humanity Lab at the University of Hong Kong, on the philosophy of AI. Previously, I was managing editor of Inquiry, & research assistant for The University of Oslo's ConceptLab and for Herman Cappelen. Before that I got my PhD from St Andrews in 2016, supervised by Cappelen and Josh Dever.
My research interests are very wide, but the topics for which (my interest * my knowledge) is the highest include social and political philosophy of language, and philosophy of technology (and their intersections, such as using computational methods to analyse propaganda, or internet language and institutions.)
On this page you will find information about my papers and books and other writings on the above, as well as various other projects & enthusiasms.
My email is below. In autumn 2023, I'm trying out a daily virtual office hour for members of HKU's MAAIES program who want to talk about any aspect of AI, philosophy, the program, and so on. Use my calendly page or email me.
