I am currently beginning a book on artistic modernism, the first monograph in this field in analytical philosophy. I have a special interest in architecture and urbanism. More generally I am interested in ethics, aesthetics and nineteenth-century German thought.

I am currently primarily in a research role but I am happy to be contacted by students who would like supervision in my areas of specialisation, especially aesthetics.
