Person

I am Associate Professor of Theoretical Philosophy and Assistant Head of Department managing research at the department of philosophy.

My dissertation (2009) was on the metaphysics of time and persistence, and I defended the notion that objects "endure" (in the technical sense) in B-time.

Over the last years my research has focused primarily on social ontology and on the philosophy of causation. 2011 I was awarded VR-funding for the project Social Ontology and Persistence, and 2015 RJ-funding for the project Causation in the Social Domain.

I have been a visiting researcher at The Centre for Time, University of Sydney (July-Dec 2006), Institute of Philosophy, University of Neuchâtel (May 2017), and at The Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh (April 2018).

I was Director of Doctoral Studies between 2015-2018, and Assistant Head of Department - managing doctoral studies and research - between 2019-2022. During the latter period I was also Deputy Head of Department.
