I am a Professor of Philosophy and Head of Department at the University of Southampton. I recently held an Arts and Humanities Research Council Fellowship in support of a project titled, Sympathy in Harmony: Margaret Cavendish's Philosophy of Value.
I am a member of the trustees committee for the British Society of Aesthetics, the scientific board of the British Society for the Theory of Knowledge, and the editorial board of the multidisciplinary open access journal, Margaret Cavendish. From 2018-2023, I was the Director of the Mind Association. Before joining Southampton in 2007, I studied and then held a lectureship at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Reading. Long before that, I grew up on the north coast of Cornwall.
I now live by the beach in Pokesdown (in Boscombe (in Bournemouth)). I am married to Hayley, the Heritage Archive and Research Manager for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. We have two sons - Elliot and Stanley.
