Hello!
I am Professor of Philosophy at the University of Birmingham, affiliated with the Philosophy Department in the School of Philosophy, Theology, and Religion; and with the Institute for Mental Health in the School of Psychology.
I am also Professor of Philosophy at the University of Ferrara, affiliated with the Department of Neurosciences and Rehabilitation.
I am the Editor in Chief of Philosophical Psychology (Taylor and Francis).
My research is in the philosophy of the cognitive sciences. I write about the limitations of human cognition and human agency, investigating faulty reasoning and irrational beliefs, delusions, confabulations, poor knowledge of the self, unreliable self narratives, unrealistic optimism, conspiracy beliefs, and misinformation. I am also interested in the philosophy of medicine and how rationality and agency impact on health and wellbeing.
