Tom Grimwood
Professor of Social Philosophy, University of Cumbria
I am a Professor of Social Philosophy and Head of the Graduate School at the University of Cumbria. My research explores the intersection between professional practices and philosophy, looking at specific sites where intellectual pursuit and its material conditions are placed in tension with one another: whether in applied service delivery (such as the concepts underlying health provision or social work practice), or in cultural discussions (such as irony, cliche, silence and ignorance). I work mainly in the hermeneutic tradition, drawing together philosophy with contemporary art, video games, film and public debate.
I also lead Health and Society Knowledge Exchange (HASKE), which is a contract research and evaluation centre that has a particular focus on cultural change in health and care provision, exploring new intervention pathways, allied health role change and training, and regional health determinants.
My main research interests are:
- Philosophical and political issues in social work, social care and health
- Cultural and Philosophical Hermeneutics
- Critical and Post-Critical Theory
- Rhetoric, Contemporary Applications of Rhetoric, particularly in Visual and Gaming Culture
- Social and Applied Ethics
- Philosophy of Research Methodologies, particularly Evaluation
- Gender and Feminist Philosophy

Tom Kane
Senior Lecturer in Business Analytics, University of Stirling
I am a research-active lecturer in Artificial Intelligence, Data-Science and Business Information Systems. My primary research area is in the artificial intelligence of artificial persons and interactions between artificial persons and natural persons. The oncoming fourth industrial revolution which will blur the distinction between human and machine interactions is inevitable, and will bring disruptive business opportunities for organisations who manage to harness the new business potential of social bots, communicative medical devices, deep data-mining, cognitive and near-cognitive systems and robotic, autonomous systems. Alongside the challenge of innovating hardware and software systems that can mimic or impersonate human capabilities come fascinating and complex ethical questions of their place in the Information Society. Clear, logical AI models that maintain contractual obligations and ethical responsibilities; and that are comprehensible and testable by technologists and civic society alike are my major interest. My background is both academic and business focused. The rollout of implementations of AI systems while addressing the ethical questions these systems raise are of interest both to my Artificial Intelligence training and my business background.

Tom McClelland
Lecturer in History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge
I recently joined HPS after three years at the Faculty of Philosophy. Before that I held posts at the universities of Warwick, Manchester and Glasgow and studied at the universities of Sussex, York and Cambridge. My research covers a range of overlapping topics in philosophy of cognitive science, metaphysics, aesthetics and applied ethics. My introductory book What is Philosophy of Mind? is available from Polity Press. For HPS I'll be leading Part II modules on the Ethics and Politics of Technology; Ethical Issues in Psychiatry and the Philosophy of Cognitive Science. I'm also DoS in HPS at Selwyn College and College Research Associate at Clare College. I'm partial to comics, cats and a good pot of tea.
Research interests
I'm currently focussing on the concept of affordances for mental action. Long-standing work in philosophy and psychology suggests that we see our environment in terms of the bodily actions we can perform in it e.g. you might perceive a teapot as affording gripping. I suggest we also see our environment in terms of the mental actions available to us. That is, you might perceive affordances to attend, to imagine, to deliberate etc. I've been exploring how findings in psychology and psychiatry can be helpfully reframed in terms of mental affordances and identifying avenues for future empirical research.
I've also been exploring how social inequalities might shape our perception. With Paulina Sliwa I've been working on the hypothesis that gender inequalities in the performance of domestic tasks may be underwritten by socially-mediated differences in how affordances for domestic tasks are perceived. More generally, I'm interested in the idea that perceptual experiences (or patterns of perceptual experience) are ethically evaluable.
Other topics I've worked on include: the contents of perception; mental action; cognitive phenomenology; self-consciousness; self-hood; artificial consciousness and artificial creativity; the metaphysics of consciousness; salience and attention; the limits of scientific enquiry; pathologies of agency and ownership; and the philosophy of film.

Tom F.A Watts
Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Politics, International Relations and Philosophy, Royal Holloway University of London
My research focuses on American foreign policy and international security. I am particularly interested in the study of remote warfare, autonomous weapon systems, great power competition, and the evolution of American counterterrorism policy after 9/11.
My research has made a major contribution to the study and conceptualisation of remote warfare. Published with the journal Defence Studies in 2021, I co-edited the Remote Warfare and Conflict in the Twenty-First Century special issue – the first on this concept – with Dr Rubrick Biegon and Dr Vladmir Rauta. I have also published articles on the remoteness of remote warfare, the role of remote warfare in the retooling of American primacy following the Iraq War, and whether remote warfare is a buzzword. Other articles have examined the change and continuity in Donald Trump’s counterterrorism policy as well as the neoconservative legacy on the "forever war".
Another strand of my research examines the US’ approach to the development and possible regulation of autonomous weapon systems. Alongside Dr Ingvild Bode, I have co-authored major policy reports on the use of autonomy in air defence systems and loitering munitions. Bringing the growing study of AI narratives into greater dialogue with the International Relations literature on popular culture and world politics, we have also unpacked the repository of different stories told about intelligent machines in the first two Terminator films and examined their relationship to the global regulatory debates on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems.

Tomás Finn
Lecturer in History, University of Galway
Tomás Finn is a lecturer in History at the University of Galway. He specialises in Irish and British history. An internationally recognised scholar, he is regarded as an authority on modern Irish political history. His research and publications have made a significant contribution to historical scholarship. The importance of his prize winning book on Tuairim in understanding the evolving intellectual climate in Ireland and its role in persuading governmental institutions to adopt new policies and a chapter on Donal Barrington, the Supreme Court Judge, in an edited volume have shown that public intellectuals in Ireland and among its diaspora, in fact, did influence the key policy decisions that shaped modern Ireland. This concern with intellectuals and social movements and the process of modernisation is reflected in his current work. He is currently co-editing two books and has chapters in each of these, one on Youth Political Parties and the other Muintir na Tire, the rural social movement. His work thus reflects the Department of History and School of History and Philosophy's ongoing research strengths in the areas of Activism and Justice, Religion and Society and Childhood, Youth and Family. He focuses on the intersection between intellectuals, civil society and church and state in understanding the process of modernisation.

Associate professor in robotics, Czech Technical University
I am working in the mobile robotics domain with a particular focus on long-term mobile robot navigation in changing environments. During my earlier work, I developed a robust visual navigation algorithm that allows autonomous operation of aerial and ground robots in outdoor environments that exhibit seasonal appearance variations. Later, I proposed to model the uncertainty of environment states by their frequency spectra, which improves long-term mobile robot autonomy in changing environments, see the FreMEn method.
As part of my work, I also implemented software libraries for fast visual tracking and UAV control, which were used by the roboticists of the NASA, EPFL, KIT, AIT etc, and contributed to our success during the Mohammed bin Zayeed Robotics Challenge and DARPA Subterranean Tunnel Circuit. I cooperated with several research institutes all across the globe and I was invited to present my work at world-leading laboratories including CSAIL@MIT, GRASP@UPENN, Oxford or ETH.
