Me in my beautiful home town, Blackpool, the Vegas of the North!
Research
I work in social and political philosophy, critical theory and feminist philosophy. My dissertation is about the concept of reification, familiar to critical theorists but largely ignored by analytic philosophers. I am also interested in the philosophy of sex and love, the philosophy of technology and the social ontology of class.
