Philosopher and logician at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, originally from Australia.

I like thinking about—and helping other people think about—logic and philosophy and the many different ways they can inform and enhance each other.

I suppose I’m known for work on substructural logics, logical pluralism, and (more recently) what philosophers should know about proof theory, and proof theorists should know about philosophy.

I’m going there this afternoon in our last lecture on paradoxes.
Coming up next week: fixed points for fun and profit… and attempting to explain them to curious philosophy students interested in paradox.
Congratulations to the newly minted Dr Tore Øgaard! It was a delight to serve as an opponent for your doctoral defence, and I look forward to learning more from you in the years ahead! / cc @standefer
Taking in a view of three local bridges, on my way to Bergen.
The sky is always above us, whether we notice it or not.

A golf course, *nowhere near* St Andrews.

This feels like home, and not like home, in different and conflicting ways.

It delighted me to learn that at a decent proportion (at least 15%) of my intro Reasoning students at St Andrews were familiar with these two Australian musical nerds.
Monday lunchtime—with the crew of philosophy/logic postgrad students—is my happy place.

My co-lecturer Franz Berto caught me in action in Monday’s intro reasoning class.

(Some of my references can’t help but show my age.)

I’m looking forward to being back in the classroom for intro lectures next week.

This will be the first time I teach in a theatre with balcony seating.
