About me
I'm a senior lecturer in philosophy at UWE Bristol (UK). My areas of specialization are political philosophy, phenomenology, and applied ethics. I have a particular interest in the problem of freedom, and in the various ways in which Western and Eastern European philosophies and literatures deal with this issue. I have published a monograph, The Risk of Freedom, on the political phenomenology of Czech philosopher Jan Patočka, and a series of articles and book chapters on related themes. I am currently working on a research project concerning the idea of political solidarity within the European frame (eurosolidarity.com). I am also involved in several research projects focusing on data ethics and governance (uwedragon.org). I am keen on literature and film, and am one of the founders of Thought in Action - a film screening and discussion series at Watershed, Bristol (uwephilosophy.org.uk/films).
