Henry

Before coming to KCL I had postdocs at the University of Vienna, the University of Sheffield, and Washington University in St. Louis. I did my PhD at UT Austin with Josh Dever and Mark Sainsbury. My dissertation was about communication and rationality.

My recent articles are about the rationality of following instructions (link), the irrationality of following instructions (link), and cognitive defaults in domain restriction inferences (link). I recently reviewed The Politics of Language by David Beaver and Jason Stanley (link).

Right now I'm working on a paper about the difference between rational and arational attitude change (r&r at Mind) and I'm writing a survey article about speech acts and rational attitude change for Philosophy Compass.

I have papers under review about the function of folk psychology (r&r at Mind and Language), about hoarding rather than updating on information you learn (with Jake Quilty-Dunn), and about the acquisition of social rules (with Shaun Nichols).
