Profile
I am Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at University of Liverpool. Clare Mac Cumhaill and I started Women In Parenthesis in 2015; we wanted to tell the story of the Quartet in a way that would encourage our female students to see themselves as philosophers, and would give these four remarkable women a central place in the history of C20th Philosophy. Clare and I are the authors of Metaphysical Animals (2022).
My previous work was on Anscombe and Wittgenstein.
