Institution
Supervisors
Dr. Vid Simoniti (University of Liverpool)
Dr. Cain Todd (Lancaster University)
Research Summary
My research falls at the intersections of Philosophy of Mind and Aesthetics, with a particular focus on 4E (embodied, embedded, extended, and enactive) approaches to cognition. My thesis looks at how 4E accounts of intersubjective interaction can offer explanatory benefits for accounts of aesthetic cognition: how interacting with others not only shapes, enables, and constrains aesthetic experiences, but gives us access to new aesthetic experiences we otherwise would not be able to have.
I am also co-editor of the British Society of Aesthetics’ journal Debates in Aesthetics, and editorial assistant for the British Journal of Aesthetics.
