About me:
My research focuses on how attitudes have changed, throughout the past, concerning the grandest prospects and greatest perils facing life. Previously, my work has focused on the historical development of ideas surrounding existential risk and human extinction; currently, I am looking into how people came to recognise just how far the shadow of consequence, for present action and accident, can extend through space and time.
Fundamentally, I am interested in how changing models of the natural universe have transformed answers to the fundamental ethical questions, and what this can teach us about what we might be missing when we assess our greatest priorities today.
