I was awarded my Ph. D. in Theoretical Philosophy in October 2008 and became docent in September 2013. I mainly do research in the Philosophy of Language, Epistemology and Cognitive Psychology. Research interests include semantic compositionality, semantic holism, semantic similarity, reliabilism, bias, fallicious reasoning and categorization. I'm currently working on a project on the epistemology of implicit bias funded by the Swedish research council.
