I'm preparing to defend my Ph.D. dissertation in Philosophy at the University of Helsinki, entitled Whither a Better Place: Philosophical Reflections on Disability and Inclusion. The dissertation explores the intricate dynamics between exclusion, rights, and basic needs -- arguing for enhanced state-funded obligations in areas like sexual citizenship and inclusion.
Outside the academic realm, I enjoy reading Terry Pratchett, watching film noir, and indulging in music. Additionally, I am an avid Land Rover enthusiast, running a YouTube channel dedicated to owning, maintaining, and modifying them. In 2015, I founded the Kilt-up 4 Cancer campaign to raise awareness of male-specific cancers, the campaign raised over $150,000 and continues to inspire ongoing efforts worldwide.
On a more personal note, my favourite colour is purple, and I am convinced that melted cheese is an abomination to humanity!
