Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Tilburg University and Humboldt Fellow at the University of Cologne. Most of my current research looks at how the epistemology of inquiry can inform normative democratic theory, but I occasionally delve into topics in philosophy of mind. I have also worked extensively on the norms of philosophical inquiry.

- #1 :
- Shows that a zetetic view of democracy solves a tension between requirements to suspend political belief and core democratic commitments.
- #2 :
- Argues that even when acting reasonably and in good faith, citizens can be anti-democratic if they violate zetetic norms of political decision-making
- #3 :
- Do parasocial relationships with politicians threaten democracy? We contend that not always. Actually, they can even improve political legitimacy.
- #4 :
- What does it mean to have a skillful intuition? This paper shows that an enactivist account of intuition aptly answers this question.
