Role and profile |
I have been Lecturer in Philosophy at Deakin since February 2012, having previously held research fellowships at the University of Hertfordshire (where I currently hold the honorary title of Visiting Research Fellow), University of Copenhagen and St Olaf College.
My work sits at the intersections of the Continental and Analytic philosophical traditions. A particular research focus in recent years has been bringing Kierkegaard into dialogue with contemporary analytic philosophy, as well as exploring the temporal and perspectival aspects of the question of selfhood.
