I'm a philosopher, whose work focuses on Critical Theory, social philosophy, psychoanalysis and cultural studies. I'm interested in processes of reasoning and rationality, particularly in regard to identity, recognition, social change, creativity and political decision making.
My current research is focused on:
- Political decision making, and identity formation, particularly in digital contexts
- Epistemic (in)justice
- Cognitive approaches to social and political change and imagination
- Philosophical research methods within the social sciences
- Artistic practice as a model for exploring thinking and cognition
- Processes of racialisation and misrecognition
- Change and advocacy within international development
