So glad to have you on the team!
Life update: I'm happy to be (re-)joining the Philosophy Department at St Andrews as a Postdoctoral Researcher on @ajcotnoir's Instruments of Unity project! It feels great to be back in the place that had such an enormous impact on me as a wee PhD student.

Nothing can improve until we kill the REF.
Probably just scrap this Labour if I’m honest?
