(I pronounce it as "livv-slee" – that is, "lɪvsli")
I joined the University of Southampton in 2021, originally as a doctoral student. Before that I worked in academic libraries at the University of Oxford & Oxford Brookes University for several years.
Before that I took the Political Theory MA at the University of Sheffield, where I wrote a dissertation on the politics of J.S. Mill. Before that, I did my undergraduate work in philosophy at Jesus College, University of Cambridge. Before that, I was mostly occupied with cultivating a series of ill-advised haircuts.
I am disabled. I think there should be more disabled people in philosophy (and elsewhere), and more philosophy about disability. I’m a member of the Society for Philosophy and Disability, as well as the International Social Ontology Society.
I'm originally from Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK. I like to walk (and hate to run), drink real ale and interesting coffee, play various games, watch cricket, listen to noisy music, and combinations thereof.
