I am currently a Lecturer in Medical Education at the Kent and Medway Medical School (2024-present). I was previously a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Kent (2018-2024). Before that, I was a Research Fellow in Medical Methodology on a project called Evaluating Evidence in Medicine (Arts and Humanities Research Council, 2015-2018). I work mainly on medical methodology. I want to work out how best to establish causal claims in medicine. (Please see my Research for more information.)
I contributed to a 4* Impact Case Study for REF2021. I am currently working towards another such Impact Case Study for REF2029. (Please see my current Projects for more information.) I was shortlisted for a Medical Humanities Award by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Wellcome Trust (December, 2020). And I was awarded the University of Kent’s Prize for Early Career Researcher involved in Knowledge Exchange (£3k, June, 2022).
I mostly teach medical methodology and social, ethical, and legal issues in medicine. I have also supervised some excellent PhD students. I was previously the Kent Philosophy Department’s Director of Outreach, Recruitment, and Admissions (2019-2024). I was also on my School’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusivity Committee. In this role, I contributed to a successful Athena SWAN application (2019).
