About
I joined Liverpool in September 2018. Previously I worked in Austria (at the University of Vienna) and Switzerland (at the University of Geneva). I completed my PhD at the University of Edinburgh. My philosophical interests are very broad but centre around epistemology, philosophy of science and political philosophy. I have written on a wide range of topics including assertion, contextualism, epistemic normativity, ethics of AI, feminist epistemology, genealogy, naturalism, persuasion, non-ideal epistemology, relativism, scepticism, and social construction. My current interests include the ethics of science communication, the politics of expertise, the politics of scepticism, propaganda, and the role (or lack thereof) of belief in decision and action. Running through my work is a commitment to non-ideal theory and to making use of relevant empirical literature in psychology and sociology. I am very happy to supervise PhD students in all of these areas.
