I'm a lecturer (the UK equivalent of an assistant professor) in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield specializing in the philosophy of cognitive science and mind. I am also the director of the Cognitive Studies MA programe and an associate director of the Hang Seng Centre for Cognitive Studies. Most of my research concerns how humans and other animals come to think about and perceive time. I also have research projects in the foundations of cogntive science more generally (esp. issues regarding the representational & computational theory of mind), philosophy of science (esp. kinds and explanation in cognitive science), consciousness, philosophy of language, and metaphysics. I have written popular pieces for a few places (see research page).
At Sheffield I teach modules in the philosophy of science, epistemology, and philosophy of cognitive science (also as part of the Cognitive Studies program). Email me if you're curious about what I'm teaching!
Before coming to the UK, I was postdoc with Bence Nanay at the Centre for Philosophical Psychology at the University of Antwerp. Before that I received my PhD from the Department of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia. And before that I got an MA in philosophy from the University of Houston and BA in philosophy and psychology from New York University.
Most people call me Jerry.
