Biography

I am a Nottingham Research Fellow working on reproductive ethics and philosophy of parenthood. My first book, The Philosopher's Guide to Parenthood, was published in 2023 by Cambridge University Press; my co-authored book Philosophy of the Family: Ethics, Identity and Responsibility with Dr Christopher Cowley (UCD) came out with Bloomsbury in 2024. I am currently writing on the ethics of ectogenic research and editing a new Handbook of Philosophy and the Family for Routledge.

I completed my PhD at the University of Southampton between 2017-2020, as a member of the Better Understanding the Metaphysics of Pregnancy (BUMP) research group. I then worked at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague for two years as a postdoc in the Interdisciplinary Research Lab for Bioethics, during which time I also spent six months at the IWM in Vienna as a Jan Patočka junior visiting research fellow.
