Some great news this month!
1) Officially finished my philosophy PhD, examined by Elizabeth Anderson and Paul Billingham.
2) Starting a new job at King's College London in September as an Early Career Fellow at the YTL Centre in the Dickson Poon Law School.
Two of my brilliant doctoral students passed their vivas without corrections this term. @KOosterum (political philosophy of echo chambers) and Konrad Ksiazek (theory of adjudication for the ECtHR). It has been a great pleasure working with both and they’ve already published excellent work. Keep an eye out for them, they will make waves.
Very excited to share our third "explainer video". (Refresher: ~5 min animations introducing applied epist concepts for a wide audience.) This one's on epist of free speech, featuring a script by Rob Simpson! Please share & consider using in teaching!
