Qualification: Master of Philosophy, Bachelor of Science (Honours), Bachelor of Arts
I am PhD candidate in the School of Philosophy working with Colin Klein. I work on the intersection of the philosophy of medicine and the philosophy of pain. I am interested in how biopsychosocial explanations of pain that occur within healthcare contexts influence patient experiences.
Before I came to the ANU I completed my undergraduate studies and a Master of Philosophy at the University of Sydney. My master's thesis was on the intersection of philosophy of psychiatry and moral psychology. Specifically, how to make sense of holding people responsible without blame in clinical psychiatric contexts.
Philosophy of Medicine, Philosophy of Pain, Philosophy of Science, Philosophy of Psychiatry, Ethics
