When I’m not working I’m usually watching NFL football (I’m a life-long fan and obsessive of the Cincinnati Bengals, and support Bangor University’s own team, the MudDogs). I'm also an avid follower of Aussie Rules Football (AFL) and F1 motor racing.

I read philosophy for my first degree, shortly followed by an MA in psychoanalytic studies, and doctoral research on Nietzschean philosophy and its influence on the analytical psychology of C.G. Jung. After completing my PhD I became a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex, UK; and later, a research fellow at the Universities of Monash and La Trobe, Victoria, Australia. I was appointed to the Bangor faculty in 2007.
