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 and the philosophical implications of Freud's work.

I am the book reviews editor of the Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology (JBSP), and a member of the executive of the British Society for Phenomenology, the Society for European Philosophy, the Friedrich Nietzsche Society, and the Society for Women in Philosophy, as well as being an invited member of the Latin American Asociacion Interacional de Fenomenologie y Ciencia Cognitiva. 

I am a book referee for Indiana University Press and OUP and a reviewer of articles for 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 right 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 a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
