We are delighted to welcome Dr Shardlow as a postdoctoral researcher on The Role of Cognitive Experience in Decision and Action project. Here Jack introduces himself and his research.
I am a researcher interested in how we (humans) think about and experience various aspects of the world around us. I approach this (incredibly) broad topic through the philosophy of mind and psychology, with further overlapping interests in other disciplines, from aesthetics to metaphysics. A significant portion of my research is collaborative and interdisciplinary, with colleagues from across the UK, Europe, and Australia. To date, much of this research has a unifying theme: a focus upon how we experience and think about time, or temporal phenomena in particular. Some of my recent single-authored theoretical work on grief and temporality can be read here; and recent collaborative empirical work on biases of decision making and the utility of memory can be read here.
I’m very excited to be joining Liverpool as part of The Role of Cognitive Experience in Decision and Action project. I’m looking forward to extending my research to focus specifically upon aspects of cognitive experience and the mechanisms underlying our actions and decision making, bridging recent empirical and theoretical work in this area, and to carrying out this research in the city I grew up in.
Before joining Liverpool, I held research and teaching positions at the University of Warwick, where I also completed my PhD, and the University of Edinburgh. I also maintain an affiliation with the Centre for the Philosophy of Time, at the University of Milan.
