I am Vice Director of Cogito Epistemology Research Centre and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Glasgow. In addition, I am Director of The British Society for the Theory of Knowledge and on the steering committees of the European Epistemology Network and the Social Epistemology Network.
My research focuses on issues in epistemology, philosophy of language, the philosophy of science, ethics and their intersection. My publications comprise three books--Inquiry, Knowledge, and Understanding (OUP, forthcoming), Sharing Knowledge: A Functionalist Account of Assertion (with M. Simion, CUP, forthcoming), and Good Thinking: A Knowledge First Virtue Epistemology (Routledge 2018)--as well as over fifty journal articles--including in top-tier venues such PPR, Noûs and JPhil--and book chapters. In addition, I have edited one volume--Virtue Theoretic Epistemology: New Methods and Approaches (with J. Greco, CUP, 2020)--, a number of special issues, and I am also a member of the editorial board of The Philosophical Quarterly.
