I am presently Senior Lecturer in Philosophy of Law at King’s College London. I’m currently working on a book project about spontaneous freedom–the freedom of acting in unplanned and unscripted ways–and its implications for ethics, politics, law, and technology. An overview of this project is provided by my recent paper in Ethics.
Together with Daniela Dover and Adam Etinson, I am organising the Humanistic Ethics in the UK Workshop this 16 and 17 June at King’s College London.
