I received my PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 2013, where I wrote a thesis on joint action and social cognition. My interests are primarily in the philosophy of action, moral psychology and moral responsibility, social ontology and collective intentionality (including shared and collective moral responsibility). Since September 1, I am working at the University of Gothenburg within the Lund Gothenburg Responsibility Project (LGRP).
I have an MSc in Cognitive Science and an MA in Practical Philosophy from Linköping University.

About the research
My research interests are in the philosophy of action and research on the nature of moral responsibility. I am particularly interested in collective action and collective moral responsibility. I also have an interest in social ontology and in the phlosophy of cognitive science.
