I am Deputy Director of the COGITO Epistemology Research Centre at the University of Glasgow. I also sit on the Management Committee of the British Society for Theory of Knowledge, the  Steering Committee of the Social Epistemology Network, and on the Editorial Board of the Philosophical Quarterly.

​I care about all things normative. My research is in epistemology (epistemic norms, social epistemology, knowledge first epistemology), philosophy of language (assertion, conceptual engineering, contextualism), ethics (wellbeing, blame, trust, distributive justice, media ethics), and feminist philosophy (epistemic injustice, gender concepts). I am Principal Investigator on a major 5-year research project - KnowledgeLab: Knowledge-First Social Epistemology - funded by a 1.5 million Euro grant from the European Research Council (2021-2025). I am also Co-Investigator on the Leverhulme Trust-funded 'Virtue Epistemology of Trust' project (GBP 254,871; 2020-2023) and a Principal Investigator on the 'Dimensions of Wellbeing' industry-funded project (GBP 332,075; 2021-2026). Before this I was Principal Investigator on the Mind Association-funded 'Epistemic Norms and Epistemic Functions' project (GBP 23,000; 2016-2019). My PhD (2016) is from Arché, University of St Andrews.
