Catherine completed her PhD in Philosophy from the University of Glasgow in 2017, and previously worked at the University of Hull before moving to Tilburg University in August 2018.
Catherine's research interests are in ethics and metaphysics, particularly the nature and value of talent, ability and skill, and the implications this has for well-being, morality and equality.
She also has an active research in aesthetics, phenomenology and the philosophy of music, currently working on Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological account of music, silence and ideas.
Underpinning Catherine's research is an interest in the nature of philosophical methodology more generally, questioning the so-called boundary between 'analytic' and 'continental' philosophies.
