Dr Paul Moran
Senior Lecturer
I am interested in the philosophy of everyday experience, and in particular the everyday experience of marginalised people and their relationship with forms of established authority. I recently completed a five year ethnographic study of chronically homeless people, and am now part of a project investigating what home means for people who live in precarious circumstances, including homeless people and Palestinians in the occupied territories. In the past, I have also completed research projects on looked after children and adoption. I am happy to consider supervising research about people who are marginalised and the philosophy of everyday experience, especially, but not exclusively, in relation to chronic homelessness and substance abuse.
Undergraduate – research and research practice.
MA – research design.
Doctoral – supervision in the areas described above, and a module on institutions, discontinuities and systems of thought.
