Background

My area of expertise is post-Kantian European philosophy, especially 19th- and 20th-century German and French thought, with emphasis on Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger and their 20th-century French readers, including Bataille, Deleuze, Derrida, Foucault, and Lyotard. I also work on philosophical feminism, especially Irigaray. Another research area is Phenomenology and the Philosophy of Art. I have also worked on Schopenhauer.

I am a member of the executive of the Society for European Philosophy and the Friedrich Nietzsche Society, as well as being an invited member of the Latin American Asociacion Interacional de Fenomenologie y Ciencia Cognitiva. 

I am a manuscript referee for Indiana University Press, OUP, Rowman & Littlefield and SUNY Press, and a referee for articles submitted to Angelaki, Continental Philosophy Review, Epoche, The Heythrop Journal, JBSP, Hypatia, and Simone de Beauvoir Studies.

In 2018 I organised the 24th annual conference of the Friedrich Nietzsche Society on the topic of "Nietzsche and the Politics of Difference", held at Newcastle University, 20-21 September 2018; and in 2022 I organised the annual conference of the Society for European Philosophy at Newcastle University, 17-19 August 2022. A theme for it was 'European Philosophy/World Philosophies'. I also organised a one-day workshop on Autofiction 31/8/2022) with colleagues from different departments within Newcastle University, as well as colleagues from around the UK. In 2023 I organised the annual conference of SWIP UK, with the conference theme of 'Interdisciplinarity' at Newcastle University (31/8-1/9), which drew an international audience from across the globe.

I joined Newcastle University in 2016, but had previously taught at Manchester Metropolitan University, the University of Dundee, as well as in Turkey and the US.

I am the Director of Postgraduate Studies for the Philosophy Department (PGR DPD).

I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.


I am able to supervise postgraduate work on Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and other philosophies of difference, including feminist philosophies of difference, as well as on Japanese philosophy.
