about

I am a Philosophy PhD candidate at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Previously, I read MPhysPhil Physics and Philosophy at the University of Oxford.

I work primarily on philosophy of science, social and political epistemology, and political philosophy. I also have research interests in anti-colonial thought, feminist philosophy, and critical theory.

My PhD project, Anti-Colonial Social Epistemology, examines the value of marginalised knowledge systems, such as those from the Global South and Indigenous peoples, for our understanding of the world and collective decision-making. I also develop a Fanonian account of political resistance and its humanising value.
