Personal profile
Biography
I am a lecturer in the Philosophy department at Macquarie University. My research focuses on philosophy of science, particularly in regards to interdisciplinary topics in the cognitive sciences and how human neurocognitive systems are shaped by cultural practices. I have research interests in distributed cognition, skilled expertise in scientific teams, development, navigational technologies and techniques, pragmatism, collaborative wayfinding, metascience, and cultural evolution
Teaching
Current Teaching:
I co-convene the Critical Thinking (PHIL1037) unit that runs in the BA. As part of work on this unit, my colleagues and I developed an argument standardisation tool.
