Research summary

I am particularly interested in the intersection of mind and medicine, from the philosophical perspective, as well as the implications philosophy has for the concepts of mental disorder applied in wider society. I hope to draw out a novel and useful conception of mental disorder in my work to better understand why people experience things in the way that they do, and, as a consequence, point to better ways of alleviating the suffering that sometimes comes along with pathological experiences.

Dr Dave Ward, Dr Tillmann Vierkant, and Dr Alistair Isaac
