Julius Silver Professor of Philosophy, New York University

---

​I joined NYU in 2022, where I am a Julius Silver Professor in the Department of Philosophy, and Co-Director of the New York Institute of Philosophy. Previously, I was Distinguished Professor at the Graduate Center CUNY (2016-2022), and  Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield (2012-2016), where I continue to hold an Honorary Professorship. Prior to that, I taught for many years at Birkbeck, University of London.
 ​
I'm a Fellow of the British Academy, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the German Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
I have an Honorary Degree from the University of Kent at Canterbury; and since 2016 I have served as moral philosopher on the UK Spoliation Advisory Panel.

The two main academic projects I'm working on are both in moral philosophy. The first is on blaming and forgiving, some of which I will deliver this summer as the Uehiro Lectures in Practical Ethics, Oxford University; and the second is on the ethical philosophy of Bernard Williams, which I will deliver as the Berkeley Tanner Lectures 2027. I recently completed a philosophical play, Short Lease.
