About Me
------------------------------------------

I am a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Sydney.

I have been at Sydney since 2005. From 2001–2004 I was a Lecturer, and then a Senior Lecturer, at Victoria University of Wellington. Before that I was a graduate student at Princeton University, where I was awarded an MA in 1998 and a PhD in 2001. I did my undergraduate work at the University of Sydney, where I was awarded a BA(Hons) in 1995.

(I am not Nicholas Smith, who is in Philosophy at Macquarie University, which is also located in Sydney.)

Elsewhere on the web, I am the designer for Snorkel, a trans-Tasman journal of poetry and prose.
