Research

Much of my research falls under the umbrella of what we might call the ‘metaphysics of science’, overlapping both metaphysics and philosophy of physics. In those fields my main interests include chance and the foundations of probability; persistence; location; space, time and spacetime; mereology; causation; dispositions; modality; and the metaphysics of gender. In epistemology, I’m mostly interested in Bayesian approaches to epistemological issues, including the connection between formal and traditional epistemology; disagreement and testimony; rational updating; confirmation theory; and scientific realism. In philosophy of language, I’m most interested in the nature of propositions; the semantics of modals, conditionals, and generics and habituals; vagueness; and in understanding fictional discourse. I’m keen to work with postgraduate and honours students on any of these topics, and many more besides.
