I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Durham University.

I work on a variety of issues in metaethics, normative ethics, applied ethics (typically business ethics) and epistemology. My current solo project offers an alternative to the Big Three picture of the ethical landscape, building on work on the nature of consequentialism, specifically what about it “haunts” even nonconsequentialists like myself. I am also working with Joe Gough on a paper about the emotions and one with Tristram McPherson about a distinctive kind of conceptual engineering.

In addition to my research, I am co-founder of Open Tower, an organization that develops open source technologies in ser­vice of a more trans­par­ent, in­clu­sive and empowered academy. I am also co-founder of DonationEthics.com, which develops and hosts open letters by ethicists and economists who support ethical donation-compensation practices.
