Profile

I joined the Philosophy Department at the University of Birmingham in September 2005. From August 2004 to August 2005 I was Honorary Lecturer in Bioethics in the Centre for Social Ethics and Policy at the University of Manchester and Research Associate on the EC-funded EURECA project on delimiting the research concept and research activities (running from 2004 to 2007).

I'm visiting MACCS for six months on an Endeavour Research Fellowship. My research project investigates the relationship between ascriptions of intentionality, rationality and self-knowledge to people reporting delusional beliefs. The fellowship is funded by the Australian Government.
