My research primarily concerns normative conceptions of the human in Kantian and Post-Kantian traditions of ethical and political thought. I also have a more general interest in Critical Theory and an interest in Kant's aesthetics.

I currently teach Prelims General Philosophy and Moral Philosophy at Corpus Christi College, and offer tutorials on the following Finals paper: 109. Aesthetics, 112. The Philosophy of Kant, 113. Post-Kantian Philosophy (Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Sartre), 129. The Philosophy of Wittgenstein, and 198. Feminist Theory.  

I have given lectures and BPhil classes on a number of Post-Kantian thinkers, including Hegel, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, and currently supervise BPhil essays on 'History of Philosophy from 1800'.
