Biography

Welcome! I am currently a Lecturer in Moral and Political Philosophy at the University of Glasgow. From 2020–2025, I was an Assistant Professor in Philosophy at San Francisco State University. In 2018–2019, I was a post-doctoral research associate at the University of Maryland, College Park. I completed my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Arizona, and grew up in Auckland, New Zealand, where I did my undergraduate studies in Philosophy, Musicology, and the Classical Languages.

Research interests

My research focuses on the history of ethics and political philosophy, primarily in Greek & Roman philosophy, and in contemporary virtue ethics. On the political side, I am interested in the development of constitutionalism, democratic theory, and the use of moral psychology and theories of character in political philosophy, particularly in non-ideal circumstances. On the ethical side, I have worked most on ancient theories of love, sex, and friendship. I am at my happiest working on Plato and the Stoics, but I also have major research and teaching interests in Aristotle and Cicero.

My current research centers around getting really clear about the constitution detailed in Plato's Laws and its theoretical significance. I am also working on Elizabeth Anscombe's unpublished manuscripts and on the role of various kinds of rule-following in virtue ethics. I am developing an interest in Chinese philosophy, especially the debates between the Confucians and the Legalists about the role of virtue and law in politics.
