I
am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department
of Philosophy at Durham University. My research
focuses on a cluster of topics at the intersection of ethics, epistemology, and
the philosophies of medicine, religion, and science; lately I am especially
interested in the role of epistemic virtues in scientific enquiry, the nature
of a religious life, scientism, and the moral and cognitive value of illness.
In October 2012 I began a three year funded research project entitled Epistemic
Humility.
