I am a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the Open University. Previously, I held positions at the Universities of Bristol, Birmingham, Hertfordshire, and Reading. I was awarded my PhD in 2014 from the University of Bristol. 

My research is primarily in the philosophy of language and philosophical logic. I am currently thinking about conceptual engineering.
