About me
I'm a philosopher of science in the School of Philosophy, Anthropology and Social Inquiry at the University of Melbourne. My main interests relate to scientific realism, conceptual change, method and relativism. Outside the philosophy of science, I'm interested in naturalized accounts of epistemic warrant and animal minds.
