About

I am a lecturer at The University of Sydney, appointed in the Education Portfolio in the Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and the Department of Philosophy.

My research interests include early modern philosophy, virtue epistemology and moral philosophy. I also have an interest in scholarship on teaching and learning, specifically teaching for moral and epistemic virtue.

I received my PhD from the Department of Philosophy at the University of Sydney in 2017. In 2013 and 2014, I was a Visiting Student Research Collaborator in the Department of Philosophy at Princeton University. My PhD was supervised by Emeritus Professor Stephen Gaukroger (Sydney) and Professor Daniel Garber (Princeton).

You can read my recently published paper “Moral improvement through mathematics: Antoine Arnauld and Pierre Nicole’s Nouveaux éléments de géométrie” in Synthese.

In March 2021, Dr Raphael Krut-Landau and I gave a pair of related talks, on the early modern influence of Euclid, at the Princeton-Bucharest Seminar in Early Modern Philosophy. You can watch our session here.

In December 2021, I wrote an article for the ABC on the epistemic value of disagreement and was interviewed on The Philosopher’s Zone about the moral and epistemic value of mathematics.
