Background
I joined the University of Edinburgh in September 2017 after having spent over a decade at the University of Leicester. I'd previously held a Resident Scholar appointment at Copenhagen Business School throughout 2015, where I continue to hold a Visiting Scholar position, as well as an Honorary Senior Lecturer Position at St Andrews University, until January 2017. I've published work on Persuasion, Social Theory, Consumer Research, and Business Ethics and so Google devotes this part of the internet to my work: fair play to them. I'll be spending the next few years writing about Rhetoric, Ethics, and their relationship. Aristotle probably said all of what I'm going to end up saying about these matters already. I very much doubt he said it in a North Dublin accent, however.
Research Interests
These days, I am mostly reading about Platonic Business Ethics, Nietzschean Eloquence, Heideggerian Moodiness, and Busynesslessness.
