Personal profile
Biography
I studied at the University of Leeds, as well as worked there as a teaching assistant and as the administrator for the CMM (Centre of Metaphysics and Mind.) I moved to Glasgow to take up a one-year temporary teaching post before then taking another temporary post at the University of Birmingham. I was made permanent the year after.
Research interests
I’m currently writing a book developing my wave theory of time, expanding on earlier papers. In addition, I’m working on: a monograph exploring time travel in fiction; the metaphysics of fragmentalism and other incoherent systems of metaphysics; and the philosophy of what happens after we die, whether we should believe in ghosts, reincarnation, etc.
