Experienced and enthusiastic University lecturer in Philosophy, specialising in ethics and political theory, offering undergraduate and graduate tutoring online.

Richard is a wonderful teacher. He supervised my PhD, and taught me during both undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Learning with Richard is always fun. He makes difficult concepts accessible, and helps you to realise that you know more than you think you know! He is careful and critical, and consistently encouraged me to build connections between theory and practice. I hope I get to work with him again in the future.

Richard was my MA advisor at Galway. He was a warm, thoughtful and encouraging teacher with tremendous knowledge about a range of philosophical topics, including justice, freedom, ethics and disability studies. I recommend him strongly as a teacher and/or advisor!

I know Richard well as a colleague and teacher of philosophy over many years. One of Richard's greatest strengths as a teacher is his ability to make ethics both accessible and engaging for a wide range of learners. He skilfully connects philosophical and ethical theories to everyday experiences, helping students develop a deeper understanding of how ethical principles inform personal, professional, and societal decisions. He is an award-winning teacher whose enthusiastic and approachable teaching style makes the learning process both enjoyable and intellectually stimulating.

I’ve been colleagues with Richard since 2019. He inspires students to apply what they’ve learned and makes ideas accessible and exciting.
