Biography
I became Affiliated Lecturer at the Faculty of Divinity in August 2022. Before I was a Leverhulme Early Career Scholar (September 2018-August 2022) and Research Associate to the Norris-Hulse Professor Sarah Coakley (October 2015-August 2018), both at the Faculty of Divinity.
My research focuses on 19th and 20th philosophy and philosophical theology, medieval mysticism, and eco-theology. I co-teach the MPhil course Facing the Environmental Future: Theology in the Anthropocene.
