Research

marauders map

My published research covers a range of topics in philosophy of mind and action, philosophy of psychology, metaphysics and aesthetics. The numbered list below has links to most of my papers, many of which are available Open Access. You can also find my papers on my academia.edu and researchGATE pages. Several of these topics are discussed in online talks available on the Media page.

If you’re interested in my work on philosophy of film you want papers #9, #20 and #30. My papers on other topics tend to overlap a bit so I’ve summarised them in this handy Venn diagram!
