I'm Reader/Associate Professor of Theoretical Philosophy and Programmes Director managing research and doctoral studies at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology. I've studied political science, journalism, statistics, sociology, cognitive science and philosophy. My main areas of interest are metaphysics, philosophy of science and philosophy of mind. Other interests are politics, music, scooters (old Lambrettas and Vespas from the 60's and 70's), true crime and movies. I'm currently employed as a Senior Lecturer at Lund University. My teaching mainly involves formal logic, metalogic, philosophy of science, metaphysics and philosophical methods.
Education: I have a bachelor in political science and a PhD in philosophy. I've also studied journalism, but never bothered to get a degree.
